Lord Hoyle
Llafur
To ask the Chairman of Committees what percentage of the bananas purchased by the House of Lords Refreshment Department were fair trade in financial years 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09.
Lord Brabazon of Tara
Chairman of Committees, House of Lords, Deputy Speaker (Lords)
The current fruit and vegetable framework supply contract commenced in April 2008. For the year 2008-09, fair trade bananas were specified in all orders placed but supplies received depended on market availability. For the years 2006-07 and 2007-08, fair trade bananas were not a standard supply specification but were delivered subject to market availability. The Refreshment Department does not have the staff resource to monitor the proportion of fair trade bananas received.

The house of Lords is the upper chamber of the Houses of Parliament. It is filled with Lords (I.E. Lords, Dukes, Baron/esses, Earls, Marquis/esses, Viscounts, Count/esses, etc.) The Lords consider proposals from the EU or from the commons. They can then reject a bill, accept it, or make amendments. If a bill is rejected, the commons can send it back to the lords for re-discussion. The Lords cannot stop a bill for longer than one parliamentary session. If a bill is accepted, it is forwarded to the Queen, who will then sign it and make it law. If a bill is amended, the amended bill is sent back to the House of Commons for discussion.
The Lords are not elected; they are appointed. Lords can take a "whip", that is to say, they can choose a party to represent. Currently, most Peers are Conservative.
