Hon. Member For Leominster And Support For English Strawberries

EDM number 2334 in 2005-06, proposed by Paddy Tipping on 08/06/2006.

That this House repudiates the call from the hon. Member for Leominster for a boycott of English strawberries; recognises that the extension of the strawberry growing season is facilitated by the use of polytunnels; accepts that polytunnels can reduce the amount of fertiliser applied; looks forward to a successful season for English strawberry producers; and advises the hon. Member, an official Opposition spokesman on agricultural matters, to speak up for home-grown produce rather than aiding the import of foreign strawberries.

This motion has been signed by a total of 28 MPs.
