Horsemeat

Proceeding contribution from Ian Jnr Paisley (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 February 2013. It occurred during Opposition day on Horsemeat.

Does the Secretary of State agree that one of the lessons that has already been learned is that it is a fallacy that people can have cheap food and quality food? The two do not go hand in hand. We have to educate the marketplace and the consumer that if people want good-quality, tasty food, they have to pay for it. Chasing the notion of cheap food, which many supermarkets have done irresponsibly, will be the ruination of a vital industry.
