PUBLIC PROCUREMENT OF FOOD

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 19 December 2006

That this House believes that the £1.8 billion public sector food budget could make a significant contribution to reducing food miles and boosting the rural economy; is astonished that the Government has no idea how much publicly procured food is of British origin; urges the Government to do everything it can within EU rules to source food for schools, hospitals and other public institutions locally; believes that it is wrong for taxpayers' money to be used to buy food which has been produced using methods that would be illegal in the UK; and calls on the Government to ensure that all publicly procured food meets the Little Red Tractor standard.

That this House notes with concern that an estimated average of 12,000 tonnes of meat products enter the country illegally each year from countries outside the EU; recognises that illegal meat imports present serious risks to both animal and human health, and threaten the survival of many species in the wild; recalls the £10 billion cost of the most recent outbreak of foot and mouth disease; deplores the Government's inaction on tackling illegal meat imports; is appalled that the number of sniffer dogs to detect products of animal origin at UK ports and airports has fallen in the last year; and calls on the Government to improve border security and pay due attention to the prevention of the incidence of illegal meat imports.
