It is a great pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Dame Maria. I congratulate my right hon. Friend the Member for North Thanet on securing a debate on such an interesting issue. In the Government's food strategy, which we published on Monday, we acknowledged the opportunities for growth in the alternative protein sector. The strategy identifies new opportunities to make the food system healthier, more sustainable, more resilient and more accessible to everybody throughout England. On investment, the UK has been at the forefront of innovative protein development, with over £130 million invested through our partnership with UK Research and Innovation. We will continue to work on joint priority areas for funding, including alternative proteins. The Food Standards Agency is reviewing the novel foods regulatory framework, and dedicated guidance materials are being developed for new protein products. A group is forming to take forward the regulatory basis for alternative protein development. While there are challenges around scaling up technologies and consumer acceptance, Government officials will continue working together on this matter. Not starting from a conclusion towards new forms of alternative proteins is encouraged. The strategy sets out exciting policy ideas, including national production goals and a land use strategy addressing where we build, grow, and let nature thrive without growing. It commits to supporting farmers for national food security and includes public procurement goals such as sourcing 50% locally. Sustainable farming practices are also emphasised.
