Topical Questions
- Answer
-
The Government strongly support the Red Tractor initiative, and I am sorry that I could not attend yesterday's event, as I was at an event elsewhere in the country. However, I understand that it was a great success. As my hon. Friend well knows, we have distributed a circular, and we hope to introduce Government buying standards, as we will require all parts of central Government to buy food produced to British standards which, in most cases, will mean Little Red Tractor standards.
This is an answer to the Topical question asked on Thursday, 12 May 2011 by Greg Mulholland (Liberal Democrat).
- Question
- Yesterday at the Westminster youth fête, I was delighted to join other hon. Members in signing the Red Tractor 4 Wheels manifesto. I know that the Government and my right hon. Friend are committed to supporting UK farmers and to giving consumers information about environmental quality and assurance. How will they support the initiative?
