Mr. Yeo: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office if she will make a statement on the role of the GM Communications Unit.
[114753]
Mr. Stringer: The GM Communications Unit is staffed by civil servants. They work strictly in accordance with the principles set out
in the Guidance on the work of the Government Information Service.
The unit co-ordinates and liaises with the key Government Departments which have policy interests on GM issues. They also act as a
first port of call for journalists. By setting up the communications unit the Government have positively responded to a key
recommendation from the House of Commons Select Committee on Science and Technology, that the Government provide leadership in the
GM debate.
More recently (7 March 2000) the Agriculture Select Committee published a report calling for confusion over GM issues to be replaced
by rational debate and education. The unit aims to help meet that challenge.
The unit's role is to communicate Government policy. It is stated Government policy to raise public understanding of the facts about
GM issues.

Mr. Yeo: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office if all food served at his Department's official functions meets the standards of
production required of domestic producers. [109778]
Mr. Stringer: My Department and its agencies have offices, and hold official functions, in numerous locations in different parts of
the country. Food is obtained from a range of professional catering undertakings appropriate to each occasion. It would be
impracticable to establish that all such food meets the criteria of domestic production.
