Protections for Cornish produce

That this House marks St Piran's Day 2026 by recognising the significant economic and cultural value of Cornish food and drink products to Cornwall and the wider United Kingdom; calls on the Government to strengthen the protection of Cornish-branded food and drink products by including Protected Geographical Indication or similar schemes to ensure that products marketed as Cornish are produced in Cornwall; acknowledges growing concern that some products marketed as Cornish are increasingly produced outside Cornwall, particularly in the brewing and drinks sector; further recognises the importance of breweries, cider makers, distilleries and other local producers to Cornwall’s rural economy, tourism industry and communities; and believes that stronger protections would help safeguard local employment, support small and independent producers and preserve Cornwall’s unique heritage.
