YORK MP Julian Sturdy led a debate in Westminster Hall in Parliament on the future of food origin labelling.
Mr Sturdy, MP for York Outer, said accurate labelling, especially around country of origin, is important for guaranteeing fair competition for British farmers, and ensuring their products can compete on the basis of quality. It is also essential for consumers, he said, so that they can make informed choices about how they spend their money, and are able to “buy British” with confidence when they so choose.
Mr Sturdy called on the government to continue its efforts to secure mandatory country of origin labelling.
