Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent discussions she has held with trade union representatives of food workers on the impact of the increase in grocery prices on employment and remuneration of workers in that sector.

Defra meets regularly with trade association groups such as the National Farmers Union. It is not for HM Government to comment on wages of private businesses nor to comment on day-to-day commercial decisions.
