Brexit: World Trade Organization
Debate between Baroness Sugg and Lord Cashman
Baroness Sugg
Obviously, we are still in the process of negotiation, so we cannot know how this will affect our farmers. In the letter today we have talked about our agricultural support. We intend that the EU’s current annual and final bound commitment level specified for domestic agricultural support will be apportioned between the future EU and the UK on the basis of an objective methodology, so there will be money to support our farmers.
Lord Cashman (Lab)
My Lords, may I ask the Minister politely to request of the department a better-written brief, so that some of us achieve answers to the questions we put to her?
Baroness Sugg
I am quite happy with my brief but if there is anything specific which I have not answered then I will write to the noble Lord.
