Elliott Review and Food Crime

Proceeding contribution from Kerry McCarthy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 April 2014. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Elliott Review and Food Crime.

I am somewhat baffled about how there can be such long supply chains in the manufacture of food products and yet the price is still so low. It seems common sense that the more travel is involved, and the more countries and the more different elements, the more the price will be bumped up. I suspect that I am putting my hon. Friend on the spot, but I very much welcome the fact that supply chains are being shortened, so that we know where our food is coming from.
