Will the hon. Gentleman reflect on the fact that, although dairy farmers in the United Kingdom are certainly among the most efficient, and we have arguably the best climate for dairy farming—certainly among the best grazing land in Europe—giving us the best conditions for the best dairy industry, our dairy farmers are closer to being on their knees economically than any dairy sector in Europe? That shows the extent of market failure in the UK.
