That this House congratulates the English Beef and Lamb Executive on the successful launch and implementation of its quality standard marks for English beef and lamb; recognises the significant role that these marks can play in adding value for the primary producer together with the valuable contribution made by retailers including Asda, Budgens, the Co-op and Sainsburys in promoting consumer choice and confidence through the use of these marks as part of the primary labelling on packs; welcomes the fact that the marks can now be seen at point of sale in up to 8,000 retail outlets nationwide; and calls on all retailers to continue to support the use of the Quality Standard Mark Scheme as being in the public interest and an aid to informed consumer choice.
