§ Mr. LuffTo ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, pursuant to her answer of 7 November 2001,Official Report, column 306W, if she will make it her policy to send a copy of the Code of Practice on relationships between supermarkets and suppliers to all farmers and growers in Worcestershire after the agreement of the four major retailers to the code has been obtained. [16244]
§ Mr. MorleyAs I noted in my reply to the hon. Gentleman on 7 November 2001,Official Report, column 306W, the Code of Practice is available on the DTI website. Copies may also be obtained from the Department of Trade and Industry, 1 Victoria Street, London, SW1H 0ET. We have no plans to send copies to all farmers and growers in Worcestershire, relatively few of whom are likely to sell their produce directly to the supermarkets who will be bound by it.
