Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what plans he has to promote an increase in (i) the total sales and (ii) exports of the British food and drinks industry. [71604]

Mr. Morley

My right hon. Friend the Minister takes every opportunity to draw attention to and promote the innovativeness, high quality and safety of British produced goods in general. The Government, particularly through their export assistance agency, Food From Britain, provide on-going support to assist the British food and drinks industry to expand its export markets.
