Rachel Gilmour (Tiverton and Minehead) (LD)
As the first ever female director of the National Farmers Union in 100 years, I think I can speak with some credibility here. I represent Tiverton and Minehead, which includes the Quantocks and Exmoor. I have to say, you have some chutzpah—my farmers tell me that you sold them down the river. I say to Government Members that we need to work together on this, because our lot on the Liberal Democrat Benches know more about farming than they do.
Madam Deputy Speaker (Caroline Nokes)
Order. I remind hon. Members that if they use the word “you”, it means me.
