Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Ranil Jayawardena and Julian Sturdy

Thursday 8th September 2022 Commons Chamber

[Mr Jayawardena]

I encourage the hon. Lady to wait to hear the Prime Minister later today.

[Julian Sturdy (York Outer) (Con)]

T2. From farm to fork, long-term decisions on rising energy prices are being made that could have a devastating impact on food security. Will my right hon. Friend please work with colleagues in the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy to ensure that food production businesses and the wider supply chain receive the support they need to tackle rising energy prices?

[Mr Jayawardena]

My hon. Friend is, of course, right. I also encourage him to wait to hear what the Prime Minister says later today. It is very, very important to ensure we continue to be able to produce some of the best food in the world and the Government are committed to doing that.
