SALE OF BRITISH APPLES IN SUPERMARKETS

Early day motion 201, tabled 26 November 2002 by Lindsay Hoyle (Labour). Signed by 73 members.

That this House notes that only 39 per cent. of apples sold at supermarkets in the UK are British-grown; recognises that, according to a report carried out by Friends of the Earth, greengrocers and market stalls stock more British apples, sold at a cheaper price; and calls on United Kingdom supermarket chains to support British produce and stock a greater percentage of British apples, providing consumers with the opportunity to support British produce.
