Dairy Farming In The North East (EDM217)

Dairy Farming In The North East

EDM number 217 in 2004-05, proposed by Peter Atkinson on 29/11/2004.

That this House notes with concern the recent Milk Development Council Report highlighting the drop in farmgate prices for milk while supermarket margins on milk have increased significantly; recognises the pressure this is putting on farmers in the North East; is further concerned that the average dairy farmer earns just Ãº2.90 an hour for a 70 hour week; and calls on the Government to toughen up the Supermarket Code of Practice and to do more to encourage farmers' cooperatives to ensure a fair and equitable distribution of the retail price of milk.

This motion has been ammended, see 219A1.

This motion has been signed by a total of 50 MPs.
