Proceeding contribution from Roger Williams (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 September 2014. It occurred during Backbench debate on Food Fraud.
Food Fraud
My hon. Friend is completely right that food fraud is price-driven—there is no doubt about that. Food adulteration and fraud are as old as history, as we know from many centuries of experience. The watering down of milk was one such example, but an even more heinous crime is the watering down of beer, which should carry an especially heavy penalty!
