That this House notes the drastic fall in milk prices for dairy farmers with prices falling by two and a half pence per litre in the last two months; recognises that dairy farmers in Lancashire cannot sustain their businesses with milk prices as low as 17 pence per litre; further notes that prices may fall again; and calls on the Government to apply for agrimoney aid to support dairy farmers in Lancashire who are still recovering from the impact of foot and mouth as well as declining milk prices.
