Debate between Perran Moon and Angela Eagle

Thursday 4th June 2026 Commons Chamber

[Perran Moon (Camborne and Redruth) (Lab)]

Some 80% of the world’s cut daffodils come from Cornwall. The horticultural industry is totally reliant on the seasonal worker scheme, but the numbers for that are only announced annually at the end of the year, whereas the daffodil harvest begins in Cornwall in January. Can Ministers help me to lobby the Home Office for a rolling two-year scheme announced no later than October each year?

[Dame Angela Eagle]

I lobby the Home Office constantly on quite a lot of things; I will certainly make sure that daffodils are also taken into account.
