Public Sector Food Procurement

Proceeding contribution from Charles Walker (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 December 2023. It occurred during Debate on Public Sector Food Procurement.

This will be the last intervention I make. The hon. Lady and I may come from different sides of the argument around eating meat and this, that and the other, but I take her point entirely. The fact of the matter is that there are more than 2 million deer in England. To sustain the number at that level, we need to

cull 750,000. We are talking of putting this low-fat, high-protein meat into dog food while people are going hungry. Diets make such a difference. We really do need to be imaginative in how we work with schools and public sector organisations to improve people’s diets.
