Government Response to the Committee’s Fifteenth Report 1 Seventeenth Special Report The Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee published its Fifteenth Report of Session 2017–19, Brand Britain: promoting British food and drink (HC 1039), on 27 June 2019. The Government response was received on 2 September 2019 and is appended to this report. Appendix Introduction The Government welcomes the report published by the EFRA Select Committee on the 27th June 2019 on Brand Britain: promoting and marketing British food and drink. It provides a timely opportunity to highlight how we can work in collaboration with industry to showcase our high quality products, and strengthen the positive perception of the British food and drink brand around the world. We look forward to continuing to work with the sector to support our exporters, both existing and new, in maximising their potential. We have taken on board the recommendations provided by the Committee and provide our responses to each of them below. Response to the EFRA Committee recommendations: British consumers 1. Research shows that origin is important to some British consumers, but purchasing behaviour is primarily driven by price. (Paragraph 7) Whilst price, when viewed in isolation, appears to be the most important factor in the decision making process, the existing evidence1 shows a more nuanced picture of the drivers of consumer purchasing. Consumers tend to place more emphasis on information such as price, brand name, special offers and familiarity but they also report strong values and preferences with regards to origin and provenance (as well as other issues such as sustainability, nutrition and quality). For example, the majority of consumers think it is important to support British farmers and producers. However, when consumers are asked questions about their own purchasing behaviours, this becomes less consistent. Fewer consumers report that they prefer to buy British food, where possible. A minority of consumers appear to check where food was produced before buying. This suggests that provenance plays a role, however, it does not always translate to purchasing. This can also vary depending on the type of product that is being purchased. 1 Published statistics from the 2016 and 2018 FSA Food & You survey. Supported by data from unpublished sources such as the Mintel, 2019. UK Food Tracker: British Food Attitudes. 2 Government Response to the Committee’s Fifteenth Report Those individuals who actively engage with country of origin labelling or provenance, predominately use it in relation to meat and fresh fruit and vegetables, rather than uniformly across their purchasing. 2. The Government should introduce requirements for the origin of characterising ingredients in food products to be specified on labels. This would enable consumers to make informed choices. (Paragraph 10) The Government has committed to review food labelling when the UK has left the EU. This will consider origin labelling which will take into account what has been achieved already through voluntary initiatives. It is worth noting that the majority of meat and dairy products sold at retail have transparent origin labelling. This has been provided voluntarily for meat and dairy ingredients. On Exit from the EU, rules on food labelling will be carried over into UK law by the Withdrawal Act. This will include requirements concerning origin labelling and also primary ingredients (which will often be the characterising ingredient). Although this latter provision will not take effect in EU law until April 2020. As we await confirmation of the terms under which we will exit the EU, we have not at this stage prepared domestic legislation that would implement the provision around primary ingredients in the UK. As soon as is practical following consultation, we will make a decision on how this section of the EU Regulations (1169/2011) might be enacted in the UK. 3. The Government should explore the potential of blockchain and similar technology to increase transparency and traceability in the food supply chain. This could be useful for consumers when buying food and drink products with multiple ingredients and where ingredients may have crossed international borders during processing. (Paragraph 11) The Government is aware that one of the key strengths of UK food and drink exports is our reputation for quality and traceability. As such, the government is exploring the use of blockchain (and related technologies) in the food supply chain. We have convened a Food Network, with stakeholders from central Government and industry, to explore the application of such technology, identify potential uses, and determine how it can be taken up. Work to date has focused on meat (beef and pork) supply chains, but we are also working with HMRC to see whether it can be used in wine imports from Australia. We are also starting to explore application of this technology to fresh produce. We are formally evaluating this work and are gaining an understanding of the technology and IT market through practical application. Key issues include the importance of interoperability, setting data standards when sharing data through the supply chain, the need for different governance arrangements for a distributed operating model, and the security questions associated with using such a model. International markets 4. Research suggests that awareness of British food and drink is low in international markets. This provides an opportunity for improvement, particularly if promotion is tailored Government Response to the Committee’s Fifteenth Report 3 to the values of each market, for example emphasising the safety of British food in China. More research should be done into some overseas markets to work out the best way to promote British products overseas and ensure greater exposure to British food. (Paragraph 23) The Government currently uses research from campaign partners including VisitBritain and the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB), as well as insight identified through working with in-market specialists across Government and industry, to gain an understanding of what factors are most important in each target market. This includes identifying how best to communicate to buyers and consumers in specific markets and the qualities of UK food and drink that will most appeal to them. The research informs our campaign narrative, which includes quality, safety, heritage and innovation of UK food and drink at its core. The Government is carrying out additional research into priority export markets. This research will aid both Government and industry to gain a better understanding of the market trends and potential barriers that exporters may face. It should help UK businesses better identify export opportunities in the future. The Government is determined to promote UK food in new markets. Extensive work is underway to do this, much of which is set out below in response to different recommendations in the report. 5. International market research to support exports

  • Matthew Gregory Chief Executive Firstgroup Plc 395
    Matthew Gregory House of Commons, Chief Executive London, FirstGroup plc SW1A0AA 395 King Street Aberdeen AB24 5RP 15 October 2019 Dear Mr Gregory As West Yorkshire MPs, we are writing as FirstGroup are intending to sell First Bus and to request that the West Yorkshire division of the company is sold as a separate entity. This sale represents a singular opportunity to transform bus operations in our area and we believe it is in the best interests of both FirstGroup and our constituents for First Bus West Yorkshire to be taken into ownership by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA). To this end, we believe that WYCA should have the first option to purchase this division. In West Yorkshire, the bus as a mode of travel is particularly relied upon by many of our constituents to get to work, appointments and to partake in leisure activities. We have a long-shared aim of increasing the usage of buses locally as a more efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to the private car. We believe that interest is best served by allowing for passengers to have a stake in their own service through the local combined authority. There is wide spread public support for this model as a viable direction for the service and your facilitation of this process through the segmentation of the sale can only reflect well on FirstGroup. We, as representatives of the people of West Yorkshire request a meeting about the future of First Bus West Yorkshire and consideration of its sale to West Yorkshire Combined Authority. Yours sincerely, Alex Sobel MP Tracey Brabin MP Imran Hussain MP Judith Cummins MP Naz Shah MP Thelma Walker MP Paula Sherriff MP Holly Lynch MP Jon Trickett MP Barry Sheerman MP John Grogan MP Hilary Benn MP Richard Burgon MP Fabian Hamilton MP Rachel Reeves MP Yvette Cooper MP Mary Creagh MP Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

  • Urgent Open Letter to Jesse Norman Mp on the Loan Charge
    URGENT OPEN LETTER TO JESSE NORMAN MP ON THE LOAN CHARGE Dear Minister, We are writing an urgent letter to you in your new position as the Financial Secretary to the Treasury. On the 11th April at the conclusion of the Loan Charge Debate the House voted in favour of the motion. The Will of the House is clearly for an immediate suspension of the Loan Charge and an independent review of this legislation. Many Conservative MPs have criticised the Loan Charge as well as MPs from other parties. As you will be aware, there have been suicides of people affected by the Loan Charge. With the huge anxiety thousands of people are facing, we believe that a pause and a review is vital and the right and responsible thing to do. You must take notice of the huge weight of concern amongst MPs, including many in your own party. It was clear in the debate on the 4th and the 11th April, that the Loan Charge in its current form is not supported by a majority of MPs. We urge you, as the Rt Hon Cheryl Gillan MP said, to listen to and act upon the Will of the House. It is clear from their debate on 29th April that the House of Lords takes the same view. We urge you to announce a 6-month delay today to give peace of mind to thousands of people and their families and to allow for a proper review. Ross Thomson MP John Woodcock MP Rt Hon Sir Edward Davey MP Jonathan Edwards MP Ruth Cadbury MP Tulip Siddiq MP Baroness Kramer Nigel Evans MP Richard Harrington MP Rt Hon Sir Vince Cable MP Philip Davies MP Lady Sylvia Hermon MP Catherine West MP Rt Hon Dame Caroline

  • Background Briefing: the New 'Kingmaker' Seats That Could Decide
    Background Briefing: The new ‘Kingmaker’ seats that could decide the next Prime Minister Britain’s electoral map is changing in this too-close-to-call election. Our fragmenting party system and shifting electoral geography has made the 2015 General Election a battle on many different electoral fronts. North of the border, Election 2015 is now an “SNP versus all comers” contest as the fallout from last Autumn’s referendum rewrites the rules of Scottish politics. While Wales adapts five party politics, Northern Ireland’s tight races in Belfast and Fermanagh will also be watched more closely for their potential impact on the Commons arithmetic, in an election on a knife-edge across Britain. The Conservatives and Labour often go head-to-head in their battle for Downing Street, particularly in the north-west, the Midlands and the outer London suburbs, while it is about Liberal Democrats versus the Conservatives in the south-west. UKIP’s insurgency challenges both major parties around the coast in Kent and Essex, Lincolnshire and Humberside, where voters are keenest to question the pace of change in British society. Candidates in increasingly-diverse cities and university towns face different challenges about whether they have a vision of the future equipped to keep pace with those changes. In this kaleidoscope of shifting party colours, one thing that has been less noticed is that the geographic frontlines of the battle between the two major parties has also shifted considerably too from a generation ago. Our examination of the new sceptical centre of this uncertain election nation reveals some important truths about how the changing nature of British society may well be reflected in our politics too.
