Motion Text

That this House supports the National Farmers Union and the Farmers Union of Wales's campaign to highlight the uneconomical farm-gate price of milk received by British dairy farmers; and calls on the Government to urge the powerful dairies and multi-retailers to enter into full dialogue with dairy farmers and their representatives to ensure that larger returns are passed back to dairy farmers to re-invest in the industry, and prevent the demise of the British dairy farming sector.
