DAIRY FARMERS OF BRITAIN (No. 2)

Early day motion 1805, tabled 2 July 2009 by Lindsay Hoyle (Labour). Signed by 32 members.

That this House notes the large number of dairy farmers who face financial hardship as a consequence of Dairy Farmers of Britain being taken into receivership; highlights the fact that 1,800 dairy farmers have been left, in most cases, with money being owed to them; recognises the difficulty dairy farmers are facing in getting a competitive price for their milk; and calls on the Government to initiate an inquiry into the performance and decisions taken by Dairy Farmers of Britain in addition to the role of the banks and the receivers in relation to the collapse of the co-operative.

Signatures by party: Labour 18, Conservative 6, Liberal Democrat 4, DUP 2, Plaid Cymru 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
