Gary Ford met with his Redditch Labour MP, Chris Bloore on 14th August to talk about one subject: concern around Ukrainian egg imports.

Gary commented:
"I feel very strongly about Ukrainian egg coming into the UK, produced to different standards that we have to operate to, undercutting UK farmers. Meeting my local Labour MP was an opportunity to appraise him of the situation and the importance of getting the right trade deal after March 2026 that does not undermine our farmers. The current situation of giving the Ukrainians unfettered access to our market is not right and whilst we absolutely want to support the Ukrainian people at a difficult time, it should not be at the expense of UK egg producers."

Chris Bloore was very understanding and supportive and promised to raise our concerns in Parliament.
