Game

Question: To ask Her Majesty's Government what action they are taking to promote British game meat.

Answer: We recognise game is an important part of our food heritage. It is a big draw on menus across the UK and is prepared by many of our top chefs and served in many establishments countrywide. Exports of game meat were worth £9 million in 2016. We are raising the profile and reputation of British food and drink overseas through the Food is GREAT campaign, being delivered in partnership with Department for International Trade and VisitBritain.
