§ 86. Dr. TwinnTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what initiatives he is taking to promote British food via the use of labelling.
§ Mr. CurryThe Government support Food from Britain whose promotional activities include quality assurance schemes for a range of quality British products. Under these schemes, which are monitored by FFB's quality council, companies which meet the standards set may display an appropriate symbol. The latest of the quality council schemes to be launched concerns British extra fresh eggs. I am pleased to see that as a result of this and other Food from Britain initiatives there is a move by producers and retailers alike to make clear their British origin so that consumers can make an informed choice.
