UK SELF-SUFFICIENCY IN FOOD

Motion Text

That this House notes with concern that the proportion of food and drink produced in Britain for domestic consumption has fallen by six per cent. under the present government, following a long plateau of stability in market share; recognises that this has had wide-ranging implications for farm income, the environment and animal welfare; urges United Kingdom supermarket chains to support British produce; and calls on the Government to introduce legislation to ensure that only food produced in Britain can be labelled as British.
