UK SELF-SUFFICIENCY IN FOOD

That this House notes with concern that the proportion of food and drink produced in the UK for domestic consumption has fallen significantly under the present Government following a long plateau of stability in market share; recognises that this has had wide ranging implications for farm incomes, jobs, 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 the UK can be labelled as British.
