To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps the Government are taking to promote the sale of British dairy produce. [115754]

In response to calls from representatives of dairy farmers the Government are widening the remit of the Milk Development Council to allow it to engage in the generic promotion of milk. The Milk Development Council is funded by a statutory levy paid by all milk produces in Great Britain.
