Food Industry Competitiveness

Proceeding contribution from Eric Martlew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 January 2010. It occurred during Topical debate on Food Industry Competitiveness.
I worked in the food industry for more than 20 years. If the hon. Gentleman is correct, why do we get copycat products—own-brand products—with very similar packaging to the branded goods appearing on the supermarket shelves beside the branded goods? If the supermarkets want to keep a good relationship with their suppliers, why do they try to copy the packaging of the branded goods?
