- Answer

Mr. Hoyle: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what plans she has to meet farmers and supermarkets to discuss farm gate prices. [222285] Alun Michael: While we recognise the problems that low farm gate prices have caused, the prices at which farmers sell their produce is a commercial matter in which the Government should not get involved. However, Ministers frequently meet representatives from all parts of the supply chain and are aware of the issues.
