Torridge councillors ‘angry and disappointed’ at Government refusal to protect food standards in Agriculture Bill

Motion urging the Government to reconsider carried by 20 votes to 5 Tory councillors ignore advice from MP and abstain Less than a year after winning the parliamentary seat with 60% of the vote, the Conservative Party's position on food and farming has received a decisive thumbs down from Torridge District councillors. At Monday's full council meeting they voted to express their anger and disappointment at the government's refusal to accept House of Lords amendments to the Agriculture Bill which would have protected food standards in the UK and ensured that British farmers are not undermined by imports produced to lower standards. The Council will be writing to Geoffrey Cox and other local MPs urging them to join Conservative party rebels like Neil Parrish in voting for the amendments when the bill returns to the House of Commons this week. It will also write direct to central Government.
