Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Tom Brake and Caroline Spelman

Thursday 24th June 2010 Commons Chamber

[Mrs Spelman]

Gentleman will just have heard, I have made it clear that, as part of the CAP reform negotiations that will take place shortly, my objective is to ensure that we get the best deal for farmers, taxpayers and consumers alike.

[Tom Brake (Carshalton and Wallington) (LD)]
