Agriculture Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hayman of Ullock (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 October 2018. It occurred during Debate on bills on Agriculture Bill.

That is a good question, but one to which I do not have a detailed answer—I apologise to the right hon. Gentleman for that. It is a really important point: we were increasing production, but then it began to drop. It is an issue that we need to address. If there is a dramatic reduction in UK food production, greater reliance on imports would result in a lack of control over production, animal welfare, and environmental and working standards.
