Dr Ben Spencer (Runnymede and Weybridge) (Con)
Fourteen months is a long time for farmers to have the sword of Damocles over their heads. Many still do, because this is only a partial U-turn in the policy. The Minister has said many, many times today that he is and has been listening to farmers, but will it take another 14 months before he hears them and scraps this policy altogether?
Dan Tomlinson
We heard what farmers were saying and that is why we have come forward with the changes we announced last month.
