Shortages of some fruit and vegetables could last for up to a month, The Environment secretary has said.

Speaking in The Commons , Ms Coffey told MPs she anticipated " The Situation will last about another two to four weeks".
Ministers were talking to retailers about How To avoid such problems in The Future , she added.
The shortages have been caused largely by bad weather in Southern Europe and Africa.

" It is important that we try and make sure that we get alternative sourcing options. "
