Food Fraud

Proceeding contribution from David Simpson (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 September 2014. It occurred during Backbench debate on Food Fraud.

I neglected to apologise for my late arrival when I intervened earlier, so if I was repetitive I apologise. A number of the complaints I received in my constituency from commercial companies concerned the fact that although we welcome an open border policy for free trade within the European Union, it has its downside as regards free movement, and there were not the border checks that there should have been. There is paperwork, and we can do many things with that, but there are not the necessary physical checks. I am sure that the hon. Gentleman heard that complaint when he was a Minister.
