That this House is concerned at the high proportion of food and other goods that are sourced from overseas yet could be locally provided; notes that local sourcing often has considerable benefits to local economies and the environment; further notes that currently communities and local government often lack the ability to choose to source locally; welcomes measures to empower local communities to promote the sourcing of food and other goods locally which increase their sustainability; and so supports the provisions of the Sustainable Communities Bill and hopes they will be introduced in this Parliament.
