My hon. Friend is a champion for the farmers in his constituency, and I hope to come to those issues later in my speech.
I thank the hon. Lady for giving way and for her excellent speech on this important topic. Does she agree that farmers such as those in North Devon have a huge role to play in our green transition and that supermarkets have a duty to ensure that farmers are getting a fair and just price for their produce, otherwise they have no hope of producing it sustainably?
Definitely, and I will come on to that. I thank the hon. Lady for her intervention.
