Asda And British Beef

EDM number 894 in 1995-96, proposed by David Nicholson on 15/05/1996.

That this House congratulates ASDA on the boost it has given to the British beef industry, facing a continuation of the offensive ban on its exports by banning foreign beef from its shelves; welcome the statement from the ASDA Chief Executive, Mr Archie Norman, that 'British beef is the best and safest in the world and our shoppers want to buy it'; and calls on other supermarket chains and food retailers to endorse this conclusion and follow ASDA's example.

This motion has been signed by a total of 25 MPs.
