Support schemes operating in the UK Support schemes operating in the UK These pages provide background information on the schemes that support the internal market.

For some storage we use Government-owned stores managed under contract by a commercial storekeeper. We only use stores that meet our operational and technical requirements, and that offer competitive terms.
