PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
Food price inflation and the Easter festive period (26 March 2024)

That this House deeply regrets the continuing effects of food price inflation; is concerned about the negative impact this will have on households over the coming Easter festive period; notes that this impact will disproportionately fall on vulnerable families; further notes that one-in-four households are still struggling financially and that food prices are on average 30 per cent higher than at the start of this Parliament; and calls on the Government to tackle food price inflation by investing in British farming, by supporting farmers with their energy bills, by fixing the broken visa system so that food producers can recruit the staff they need, and by extending free school meals to all children in poverty.
