There are no Government run canteens, cafes or restaurants operating in my Department or in the Offices of my Department. There are two very small canteens in two buildings occupied by my Department and the Offices of my Department which are commercially run. The commercial operator of those two small canteens has indicated that all foods are sourced locally. I am not in a position to provide information on this matter in relation to the Agencies of my Department, as this is a day-to-day matter for the Agencies concerned.
