It is unacceptable that ABP Food Group has effectively stalled the beef task force through its failure to lift legal threats. I accept there is no silver bullet to the issues that are before us but the four measures I put forward in a recent Private Members' motion would fundamentally shift power from meat processors and supermarkets to beef farmers. While this will not solve the problem overnight, if such effective steps had been taken five years ago, we would be in a very different situation today.
