'Red Tractor in danger of self-destructing'

摘要

It goes from bad to worse for Red Tractor doesn't it? It recently experienced a PR clanger when Baroness Neville-Rolfe, chairwoman of Assured Food Standards (which owns the Red Tractor brand), voted with the Government Bill on food standards, therefore voting not to ban imports produced to lower standards than those of the UK. Talk about shooting yourself in both feet.This was in contrast to the principles adopted by the Tory chairman of the EFRA committee and Tiverton and Honiton MP, Neil Parish. He voted against his own Conservative Government, and therefore backed the high British farming standards most farmers are proud to achieve.
