Proceeding contribution from Lord McCrea of Magherafelt and Cookstown (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 December 2005. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Agriculture (Northern Ireland).
Agriculture (Northern Ireland)
: Does my hon. Friend agree that in Northern Ireland there has been a major bone of contention, in that while the housewife continued to pay high prices for the products on the shelves of these large retailers, in reality many producing farmers were receiving a price at the farm gate that did not even cover their costs? That bone of contention remains; therefore, there should be a major inquiry into that whole position. There is sufficient cake for everyone, but the issue is the division of it. Does my hon. Friend agree that an inquiry would be helpful?
