Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Kwasi Kwarteng and Stephen Crabb

Thursday 14th December 2017 Commons Chamber

[Stephen Crabb (Preseli Pembrokeshire) (Con)]

There has been a lot of focus on the uncertainty in sectors such as banking that have contingency plans for relocation. For many farmers, however, the decision is not one of relocation; it is about whether they stay in the industry at all, and we need good farmers to stay in the business. I urge my hon. Friend to work with colleagues at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, and the farming unions, to develop a strong post-Brexit plan for agriculture.
