Proceeding contribution from Lynne Jones (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 January 2010. It occurred during Topical debate on Food Industry Competitiveness.


Food Industry Competitiveness

In advance of my Adjournment debate on Tuesday on Cadbury, and because I have to leave for a constituency engagement, may I take this opportunity to ask the Minister what lessons the Government are learning from the hostile takeover of Cadbury, which has meant that a well-run, debt-free company is now saddled with billions of pounds-worth of debt while those who have no interest in the long-term health of that company or any other industry have made a huge killing?
