Proceeding contribution from Lindsay Hoyle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 November 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Supermarkets and Regional Farming.
Supermarkets and Regional Farming
The Minister says that this is about ensuring fair competition. I think that competition failed in respect of the price that was being paid to farmers for milk. As one supermarket altered it, another followed, so the price went up for the consumer while the price being paid to the farmer went down. That acted against not only the farmer but the person shopping in supermarkets.
