UK Dairy Industry (EDM986)

UK Dairy Industry

EDM number 986 in 2007-08, proposed by Timothy Farron on 20/02/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Agriculture, Farmers, Food and Service industries.

That this House notes and is saddened by the reduction in the number of UK dairy farms; notes that the quota price of milk has crashed from about 32 pence per litre in 1988 to about 1 pence per litre in 2008; recognises the role played in this by major supermarket chains in pushing down the price of dairy products with little regard for the need to get a fair price for farmers; and calls upon the Government to act to protect farms of all kinds to ensure security of food supply.

This motion has been signed by a total of 34 MPs.
