Agricultural Transition Plan

Proceeding contribution from Barry Sheerman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 November 2020. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Agricultural Transition Plan.

The Secretary of State knows that I believe him to be an honourable man, but he is a member of a Government who are now notorious for their chumocracy and favours for friends. What he is ushering in today is a charter for City slickers, carpetbaggers and spivs to take over our farming sector, and to drive out the traditional smaller English farmers, who have been feeding our nation for so many years. Will he please think again before he eradicates the good English farmer?
