FARMERS' MARKET SOUPS

Early day motion 2064, tabled 9 October 2007 by David Drew (Labour). Signed by 37 members.

That this House condemns Heinz for issuing a new brand called Farmers' Market Soups when that brand makes no attempt to source its materials through farmers' markets and is, at best, causing confusion on what ingredients are contained within those soups let alone whether they would be capable of meeting the stringent standards that farmers' markets have to meet; and notes the upset that this has caused to the farmers' market movement, including the excellent Stroud Farmers' Market.

Signatures by party: Labour 24, Liberal Democrat 8, DUP 3, Conservative 1, Scottish National Party 1.
