Meat: Prices

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what assessment she has made of a potential correlation between the recent rises in theft of meat in some supermarkets and the recent rise in meat prices.

We have made no assessment of this. We therefore cannot say whether high retail meat prices are causing increased thefts of meat.
