Motion Text
That this House notes the plight of many dairy farmers who currently receive in the region of 17 pence per litre for the milk they produce; recognises that the future of dairy farming is not sustainable with such prices; further notes the increase in milk being imported, particularly from Poland; and calls on the Government to work with supermarkets to ensure that UK dairy farmers have a viable and sustainable future by establishing a minimum farmgate price set for milk at 20 pence per litre.
