Agriculture Bill (Fourteenth sitting)

Debate between David Drew and Iain Stewart

Committee Debate: 14th sitting: House of Commons
Tuesday 20th November 2018 Public Bill Committees

[Dr Drew]

It is always a mistake to lead with your chin, as they say. We will pass on from that very quickly.

The new clause covers something that, as far as I know, most MPs want to do. Hon. Members may say that it is somewhat incongruous to bring this forward with this Bill, but given that Agriculture Bills come round about every 50 years, we will not necessarily be around to see this carried through.

[Iain Stewart (Milton Keynes South) (Con)]

Speak for yourself!

[Dr Drew]

Some of us might be very old if we were around in 50 years. I hope this is treated seriously.
