Proceeding contribution from Eilidh Whiteford (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Friday, 12 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Sustainable Livestock Bill.
Sustainable Livestock Bill
I share the hon. Gentleman's concern about the burden of regulation on our farmers, but would he agree that one of the biggest challenges that our livestock farmers face is cheap imports from south America, which are gaining a competitive advantage over our producers because of the erosion of human rights and the use of environmentally destructive farming practices? Surely a more ethical, sustainable approach to procurement is one way to ensure that the high-quality produce of our farmers reaches the market on a level playing field.
