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

Food Industry Competitiveness

I am pleased to put on the record my personal commendation of Mr. Kendall and to endorse the sentiments outlined by the hon. Gentleman. However, given that there is an NFU election at the moment, I would not want to prejudice Mr. Kendall's chances or give any indication that there is a Government candidate in the election. I offer the hon. Gentleman an opportunity to say that this is a politically neutral election and that it is for the NFU members to make up their own minds.
