Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Peter Aldous and Elizabeth Truss

Thursday 4th February 2016 Commons Chamber

[Elizabeth Truss]

We are working on the next step of the Courtauld agreement—Courtauld 2025—which will have voluntary targets to get both supermarkets and the food manufacturers to a better level.

[Peter Aldous (Waveney) (Con)]
