Major BRAITHWAITE

asked the Prime Minister, in order to safeguard the standard of living of the farm worker and to save the agricultural industry from financial bankruptcy, if he will consider the provision of legislation to ensure that all manufacturers and dealers in food should use an agreed percentage of home-grown produce?
