HC Deb 20 January 2000 vol 342 c1093 7.36 pm
Mr. Kerry Pollard (St. Albans)

I am pleased to present and support a petition raised by my local National Farmers Union, which has been signed by more than 2,000 of my constituents.

It declares: The labelling of food is currently confusing and misleading. The petitioner therefore requests the House of Commons to urge the Minister to introduce legislation at the earliest opportunity so that only produce which originates in Britain can be labelled as British, thereby allowing consumers who want to buy British the freedom to do so. To lie upon the Table.
