STAFFING REQUIREMENTS OF THE UK POULTRY SECTOR

Early day motion 2440, tabled 4 June 2019 by Tom Brake (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 4 members.

That this House recognises the need to maintain access to non-UK workers in the poultry sector in order to maintain a secure supply of affordable British food; notes with concern that current economic modelling from the British Poultry Council suggests that there could be significant increases in the costs of production, including recruitment costs, resulting in the price of breast meat rising by 25 per cent in the event of a no-deal Brexit; and calls on the Government to ensure British poultry meat businesses continue to have access to non-UK labour.
