PRICE OF MILK
That this House notes with concern the recent Milk Development Council Report highlighting the drop in farmgate prices for milk when supermarket margins on milk have increased significantly; is further concerned that the average dairy farmer earns just ??2.90 an hour for a 70 hour week; and calls on the Government to toughen up the Supermarket Code of Practice and do more to encourage farmers' co-operatives to ensure a fair and equitable distribution of the retail price of milk.
