Business of the House

Business question from Priti Patel (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 March 2011. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
This afternoon I shall meet a group of pig farmers from the great county of Essex. They are concerned about the fact that a combination of higher wheat prices and increased supermarket imports of pigmeat from countries with lower animal welfare standards than ours are forcing British pig farmers out of business. May we have a debate on the British pig industry? The sustainability of high food standards is under threat, along with many rural jobs in our constituencies.
