Members to support their local events during the fortnight; further calls on the Government to mainstream procurement of Fairtrade products across all Government departments and public authorities and to move from using only tea and coffee to incorporation of the wider Fairtrade product range; and calls on the Government to identify mechanisms to increase availability of healthy Fairtrade produce in the education sector.
