I will at some length explain why the remarks that the right hon. Gentleman just made—
Graham Stringer (in the Chair)
Order. If Members wish to make an intervention, they should stand to do so. It is up to the person who is speaking whether to accept an intervention.
I was going to say this at the end of Ann Davies’s speech, but I will say it now. This debate is oversubscribed, so I will put a time limit on speeches. Members should make short interventions, because interventions will mean less time for those people who have put in to speak.
Torsten Bell
No, I am going to finish. Communities across the UK, including in rural areas, rely on those things every single day. We have taken these decisions to make the system fairer and more sustainable and the decisions come alongside significant new investments in farming and support for small business.
Thank you, Mr Stringer, and all those who have spoken today, in particular the hon. Member for Caerfyrddin for securing the debate. I look forward to her concluding remarks.
