Proceeding contribution from Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 June 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Rural Communities (Recession).
Rural Communities (Recession)
I agree very much with the hon. Gentleman, who is my constituency neighbour. My great concern is that, although we do not want to burden the industry with excessive regulation, we have very powerful players on the retailing and processing sides, but a range of relatively powerless people—farmers and growers—who by and large do the real work. They need protecting, and we need to ensure that markets are fair more than free.
