[holding answer 16 March 2010]: The following tables show imports as a percentage of total new supply¹ for raw liquid milk for processing, main dairy products and beef and beef products in 2008."¹ Total new supply is used as a proxy for consumption where total new supply is production in the UK, minus exports, plus imports. To note: some of this new supply will be processed further and exported (so not consumed in the UK). However, this presents a good assessment of imports in relation to UK consumption."

My Lords, one could ask questions on this subject till the cows come home.
I thank the Minister for his kind reply. At present, however, the costs of production are more than the price that many milk producers are getting for it. What additional measures are being put in place, alongside the emergency measures of the dairy fund, for the future continuance of the dairy industry?

My Lords, the emergency measures are important, but I think that the right reverend Prelate will appreciate, as will the whole House, that we are concerned that the dairy industry should establish itself for a profitable future. That means larger herds and a concentration of dairy production. We welcome the fact that Europe is thinking along the same lines. As we are better placed than many other European countries’ dairy industries, we look forward to improved fortunes for the dairy industry in the future.

There has been no assessment of like-for-like import and export of poultry, pig meat and milk and milk products. International trade statistics do not break down imports and exports into the defining characteristics such as product quality or specification on which trade in such products is based. Without this information it is not possible to assess whether a product which has been imported with a particular commodity code is actually equivalent to a product with the same commodity code which has been exported.

Although my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary has not had any discussions with the Chinese authorities on tainted milk, my noble Friend the Minister of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, Lord Davies of Abersoch, and UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) officials have raised with them the claims by UK companies for compensation against Chinese suppliers of products containing tainted milk.Separately, the Department for International Development have recently signed a UK-China Food Safety Action Plan and are working with the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture and relevant partners on improving agricultural collaboration.
