Meat: Prices
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what steps she is taking to counter the recent rise in meat prices.
- Answer
-
No steps have been taken to counter the recent rise in meat prices. The rise in prices reflects the market. DEFRA routinely monitors trends in the affordability of food, looking at both domestic retail food price inflation (as measured by the consumer price index) and changes in the factors that drive domestic retail food price inflation.
