Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Barry Gardiner (Labour), on Tuesday, 30 April 2024, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 29 members in total.
Price cap on baby milk formula
This House recognises the impact that food price inflation has had on family budgets in recent years, with annual inflation of 19.1% to March 2023, which was the highest rate of food inflation in 45 years; notes with dismay that some retailers have taken to placing baby milk formula under security lock to avert the risk of shoplifting; considers that no parent should feel they have to resort to criminality in order to feed their baby; and therefore urges all supermarkets to urgently review the retail costs of baby formula and to cap it at no more than 1% of its production cost.
