That this House notes with concern the recent Milk Development Council Report highlighting the drop in farmgate prices for milk when supermarket margins on milk have increased significantly; is further concerned that the average dairy farmer earns just ú2.90 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' co-operatives to ensure a fair and equitable distribution of the retail price of milk.
