Dairy Farming In Worcestershire (EDM284)

Dairy Farming In Worcestershire

EDM number 284 in 2004-05, proposed by Peter Luff on 02/12/2004.

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 Worcestershire; is 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 do more to encourage farmers' cooperatives to ensure a fair and equitable distribution of the retail price of milk.

This motion has been signed by a total of 47 MPs.
