§ Mr. ChaytorTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will encourage supermarkets to donate all edible surplus food to charity. [37143]
§ Mr. MorleyI am confident that the firms concerned have company policies on the disposal of surplus food which take into account the important food safety and public health considerations which arise. A number of them already participate in a voluntary scheme for the distribution of such food to charitable bodies.
