Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.
The purpose of this bill is to enshrine in law consumers' right to know the country from which the food they are purchasing originated so that they can make informed purchasing decisions.MP in charge
