Food Fraud

Proceeding contribution from Roger Williams (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 September 2014. It occurred during Backbench debate on Food Fraud.

I thank my hon. Friend for that point, which is made in the Elliott report. Intelligence-led monitoring is also important. Controls on food coming into this country have been tightened at the airports and seaports. Sniffer dogs have been introduced at

Heathrow, and I have been there and seen them in action. It was extraordinarily impressive to see dogs being able to find little bits of food that were being brought into the country—not intentionally but because somebody had forgotten they had left a ham sandwich in their suitcase or backpack.
