Leaving the EU: the Rural Economy

Proceeding contribution from Jake Berry (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 January 2017. It occurred during Opposition day on Leaving the EU: the Rural Economy.

Clearly, in relation to the environment, there are decisions that may still properly be made at a European level, but some decisions made in Europe damage our farming industry in Lancashire. A perfect example is that in Rossendale and Darwen: farming of commons is what most upland farmers do, and each movement of the cattle between commons is counted. A farmer may have 15 movements in the life of his herd, reducing the price that he gets at market. Will my right hon. Friend commit to making sure that this is altered?
