Oral Answers to Questions

Jeremy Wright Excerpts

Thursday 30th March 2023 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

We look forward to welcoming you.

[Sir Jeremy Wright (Kenilworth and Southam) (Con)]

My right hon. Friend will recall that my constituents Andy and Lynda Eadon have done tremendous work in raising awareness of the mental health challenges affecting young farmers in particular in rural areas, in memory of their son Len. Can I thank him for agreeing to participate in the Westminster leg of the Len’s Light tractor relay? Mr Speaker, he is perhaps the only Minister you will allow to drive a tractor anywhere near this historic building. Can I urge him to continue to apply pressure to land-based colleges and other educational institutions to make sure that mental health awareness is part of the educational experience of everyone entering agriculture?

[Mr Speaker]

So long as it’s a red tractor.
