Horsemeat

Proceeding contribution from Mary Creagh (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 February 2013. It occurred during Opposition day on Horsemeat.

I do agree. The British food industry is a £12 billion industry, and hundreds of thousands of UK jobs depend on it. I know from talking to farmers across the country that they are trying to export their animals, including pigs to China, and various products all over the place, and that people are coming here to look at some of our excellent rare breeds of beef that work particularly well in particular types of climate. This is obviously a very worrying time for the UK food industry.
