Horsemeat

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

I am enjoying the hon. Lady’s speech a great deal, but I wonder where she is going with it. It is not necessarily a bad thing—I just wondered whether I could pre-empt the point she is perhaps coming on to. She said that we have to be realistic about the value of food. I felt that she was preparing us all to pay more for our food. How does that equate with her obvious sympathy with the poorest families in her constituency? How will they manage to make that leap if incomes stay as low as they are?
