Dairy Industry

Proceeding contribution from Marcus Jones (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 September 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate and Backbench debate on Dairy Industry.

On that point of reinvestment and making milk production more efficient, does my hon. Friend think that there has been an absurd situation in recent years whereby the regional development agencies have been distributing Government funding to try to support farmers in that regard, but in my constituency farmers on one side of the A5 have been unable to access that funding whereas on the other side of the A5, and under a different RDA, farmers have been able to access it? Does he agree that we need to have a more transparent system, a more level playing field and a sensible amount of funding from Government to try to help our farmers to become more efficient?
