Tesco is under fire from farmers for promoting lamb from New Zealand, in spite of vowing to give support to local producers.
The president of the National Farmers' Union, Meurig Raymond, said that he felt that Tesco's behaviour was underhanded. Consumers want to buy our great British product and know when it is in peak season, so it is vitally important at this time of year to give clearly labelled home-grown lamb pride of place, when there is a good, affordable and fresh supply on our doorstep
