Support for British Farming

Proceeding contribution from Carla Lockhart (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 November 2022. It occurred during Debate on Support for British Farming.

My hon. Friend makes a powerful point on the protocol. We have heard today of the challenges facing famers. Would he agree that in Northern Ireland there are additional challenges because of the protocol? Look at the seed potato issue. We cannot get seed potato from Scotland to Northern Ireland. Some 50% of veterinary medicines will not be available to Northern Ireland in January after the grace period. Does he agree that the protocol needs to go? Great Britain’s farmers would not accept it, so Northern Ireland farmers should not have to, either.
