Many in the Committee will know that I rear sheep and cattle, and I have the occasional horse and some chickens, but they are all situated in Scotland and are not exactly subject to the regulations. I have an interest in how this is seen. I am very grateful to...

People’s hands must be rather clean. Of course, there are mechanisms for people working in this place, whereby they can filter some of their shares to offshore islands, such as Jersey and Guernsey. I do not think that that is any better, but it is quite legitimate, and if we...

May I start by welcoming the Home Secretary to her new post, especially in these uniquely difficult circumstances? She has handled this entire affair to date with a calmness and dignity on which I congratulate her. I join the Home Secretary in offering the thanks and congratulations of the Opposition...

I beg to move,"That leave be given to bring in a Bill to amend the Animals Act 1971 to limit strict liability for damage done by animals." My Bill would amend the Animals Act 1971 by limiting its scope to dangerous species and, particularly, to dangerous individual animals, and for...

My hon. Friend makes an eloquent and important point, which underlines my point. Increasing authorised sites does not necessarily reduce the numbers. Indeed, the evidence that he presented suggests that there was an increase in the number of authorised developments. One has to ask why. On the issue of demand,...

I am awaiting with great anticipation the right hon. Gentleman’s endorsement of vegetarianism; otherwise, what solution is he suggesting to deal with the problem presented by the cows and how would he prevent emissions of methane?

My Lords, I have said that we will always hold debates on Europe in Parliament, as we are doing today. I do not accept the assumptions that the noble Lord makes, and I am not going to be drawn into a question that is based on a wholly false premise....

It is always a pleasure to speak in a debate opened by the Financial Secretary to the Treasury. He makes his case with fluency and care and today he has once again underlined his reputation as an asset to the Treasury. It needs every asset it can get. His presence...

The hon. Gentleman is quite right. Indeed, we in Wales are concerned not only about aspects of farming, which are important in sustaining rural communities, as they are in England, but about the further point that the agricultural community is the mainstay of Welsh language and culture. I hardly need...

The hon. Gentleman makes an excellent point. When dairying in this country—particularly in my part of the world, with its high rainfall and very good grassland—is compared with dairying in the southern parts of Europe, we have ideal conditions; so why does not it work? Clearly, there is something happening...

I congratulate the hon. Member for Ceredigion (Mark Williams) on securing this important debate. Only 10 days ago, I visited a successful dairy farmer in my constituency, Mr. Kirkup, who has a herd of 400 cows. I was concerned to hear about the income levels of farms in my constituency....

I am pleased to have secured today’s debate, under your guidance, Mr. Hancock. It is important that we understand and are aware of the matter before us. The UK produces more than 17 million tonnes of food waste each year. I submitted a parliamentary question today seeking an assessment of...

The hon. Gentleman makes a relevant point. We can argue until the cows come home about whether we should go to war, but once we have made that commitment it is important that we continue the process of transition from war to peace. That is where I take issue with...
