Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask His Majesty's Government what targets exist for the increase in consumption of wild venison through public procurement.

The Government is exploring the use of public procurement to increase consumption of wild venison but has not set any targets. The serving of wild venison needs to be a local decision made by the appropriate procurement professional who is best placed to understand the needs of their customers and how to balance those needs with the constraints of the supply chains in which they are operating.
