Defra officials regularly engage with major supermarkets to understand the work they are doing to promote British produce. We welcome their efforts to promote British food and the innovative ways to make it easier for consumers to pick British and back our farmers, who produce some of the best food in the world. I congratulate the hon. Member for Bosworth whose campaign on this matter has seen some supermarkets adding British sections to their websites. We encourage other supermarkets to follow suit with similar initiatives.
