§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what plans he has to introduce measures to ensure that reductions in the prices received by farmers for their livestock are reflected in the prices charged in supermarkets. [29261]
§ Mr. RookerThe levels of retail prices for meat are set by competition, which is strong in the food retailing sector. The Director General of Fair Trading keeps the market under review to ensure that it continues to remain competitive. I have no plans at present for further measures.
