Agriculture Bill

Proceeding contribution from Caroline Lucas (Green Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 October 2020. It occurred during Debate on bills on Agriculture Bill.

The Minister will know that Lords amendment 11 is based on one that I tabled, which the Lords supported. I think she misrepresents the amendment. It is perfectly clear that it would be possible for the Government to bring forward regulations to specify exactly the minimum distances. It is no coincidence that Lord Randall himself has said how important it is that this amendment is passed to protect human health. That is what we need to do. The Government could go away and design the regulations, but this is the overarching amendment to achieve that.
