Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Kali Mountford (Labour). It was answered on Thursday, 1 February 2007 on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
Local/Speciality Food Promotion
- Question
- I thank my hon. Friend for that answer. Does he agree that supporting locally grown, seasonal food is good for the local economy and environment, and that it tastes pretty darn good too? If he has had the opportunity to taste locally grown Yorkshire produce, does he agree that it ranks among the finest in the world? Will he do all he can to support fine Yorkshire produce and make sure that it gets due recognition?
- Answer
-
As ever, my hon. Friend hits the nail on the head. Locally grown produce has benefits for the environment, but the main thing is that it tastes darn good too. She makes a powerful case for the food produced in her area—and may she champion it for many years to come.
