Dairy Farming

Proceeding contribution from Sarah Newton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 June 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Dairy Farming.
I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing such an important debate. The future of dairy farming is important to people throughout the country, as we need greater food security and must produce more of our own food. Does he agree that it is about not only the supply of milk, but the products that are made from it? Those products are important to the economy of Cornwall. They include not only our famous clotted cream but our ice cream, cheese and yoghurt, which all depend on healthy supplies of milk. Many dairy farmers in my constituency, like those in my hon. Friend's, face the prospect of having to give up that important part of their livelihood, along with their farming traditions.
