Written Question
Dairy Farming
Thursday 5th February 2026

Asked by: Dave Robertson (Labour - Lichfield)

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps she is taking to support the dairy industry.

Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

I recognise the current sharp falls in milk prices is extremely challenging for dairy farmers.

Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill (Second sitting)

"Q Thank you, Professor, for coming along. You said that when the Computer Misuse Act was written in 1990, not many people were doing cyber-security work.
