Proceeding contribution from Peter Atkinson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 June 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Rural Communities (Recession).
Rural Communities (Recession)
On the subject of Dairy Farmers of Britain, it is good news that most of the suppliers, particularly in north-east England, are finding new contracts, but could the Minister say anything about the future of the processing plant in Blaydon, near Newcastle? That is the only processing plant in the north-east region, and if it closes, dairy farmers in the region will face very high transport costs to move their milk to areas where it can be processed.
