Dairy Industry

What the hon. Gentleman says is absolutely right. The point about the message that he has been given by DEFRA—that it wants the market to operate—and the point that he is making is that in the market that we are discussing, the power structure is totally unequal. That is the problem. The farmers do not have the same power that either the processors or the supermarkets have. If the Office of Fair Trading, in its inquiry, does not pay attention to the unequal power and does not look to the long term as well as to the short term, we will not end up with a satisfactory and sustainable dairy industry.
