Government Support For Farming (EDM557)

Government Support For Farming

EDM number 557 in 1997-98, proposed by Charles Kennedy on 04/12/1997.

That this House notes with deep concern the developing events at United Kingdom mainland coastal ports involving farmers and beef imports; fears that this week's ban of beef on the bone can only exacerbate the already inflamed situation; acknowledges that United Kingdom farmers have never before felt moved to pursue such a course of action; and, believing it imperative to help calm the situation, calls upon Her Majesty's Government to pursue with the utmost urgency a package of ameliorative and compensatory measures to help ease the drastic income plight of the beef and livestock sector in the context of the continuing beef ban and the revaluation of the green pound.

This motion has been signed by a total of 20 MPs.
