Proceeding contribution from Kerry McCarthy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 June 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Food Security.
Food Security
My right hon. Friend has talked about self-sufficiency but he has not really put that in the environmental context. Does he not agree that in this day and age, when this country produces food such as apples, it is absolute madness to incur the environmental consequences of importing apples from somewhere such as New Zealand?
