Lord McCrea of Magherafelt and Cookstown (DUP) [V]
To clarify, does the Minister believe that the term “exceptional adverse conditions” covers exceptional events such as extreme weather and serious diseases, which can cause major financial problems for farmers and food security? Does this Bill cover them?
Baroness Bloomfield of Hinton Waldrist (Con)
I assure the noble Lord that this Bill will cover those situations.
