Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Questions

On the afternoon of Thursday 17th March, in the House of Commons, Claire questioned James Paice, Minister of State for Agriculture and Food, on the Government's support for British pig farmers. Claire has been actively involved in trying to press government departments as well as supermarkets to support British produce. In her question, she highlighted the lack of British produce in provisions for the Armed Forces as requisitioned by the previous Government.  Claire believes this trend must be reversed to save an industry that is already suffering and intends to continue to represent pig farmers in her constituency.
