Proceeding contribution from Andrew George (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 December 2025. It occurred during Debate on Fairtrade Certification.
Fairtrade Certification
I congratulate the hon. Member on the way he is articulating the case for Fairtrade. It is important that it is robust and traceable and has strong integrity, but if we are to scale up, should we not also integrate international Fairtrade standards into the Groceries Code Adjudicator, which is part of UK legislation? After all, the GCA is looking only at the final supplier to the large supermarkets in this country. If we can establish a strong relationship between international Fairtrade and the Groceries Code Adjudicator, which is currently under review, would that not be another step forward?
