Thank you for that reply. I know that many Assembly Members organise events, and we know, potentially, how costly some of the food can be here. We have to be aware of ordering what we need for such events, so that we don't over order, and so that we ensure that guests are able to enjoy themselves and enjoy the sustenance that we given them. But I have been told by many who attend events, or many people who work here, that there may be some food that is recycled so that people can actually eat the food in the local area, by giving it to a local charity, but in some circumstances the food, despite the fact that it's still edible, goes to waste. That doesn't need to happen when there is so much left over after events.

Of course, many Assembly staff are very happy to take away trays of sandwiches from these events, but I'm thinking if there are, for example, local homelessness or local food bank-style charities in the local area—? We have to lead by example and, before getting to the point of recycling the food in that way, I would hope that we could recycle it in a way where we could be helping humans to consume it who may need it more than us.
