Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps he plans to take to help support farmers in (a) Lincolnshire and (b) Louth and Horncastle constituency.

Answered by Daniel Zeichner - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

For this government, food security is national security.

That is why this Government will introduce new deal for farmers to boost rural economic growth and strengthen Britain's food security.

• We will cut energy bills by switching on GB Energy

• Protect farmers from being undercut in trade deals

• Use the Government’s own purchasing power to back British produce.

Furthermore, the new Government are fully committed to the Environmental Land Management (ELM) schemes. Government will restore stability and confidence amongst farmers and will not overturn the applecart by overhauling the schemes.

Instead, we will optimise schemes and grants in an orderly way, ensuring they produce the right outcomes for all farmers, food security and nature’s recovery in a just and equitable way.

The best way to do all of this effectively is to listen to farmers and others with a stake in our food system, countryside and nature. The Government is doing this as well as assessing data and information about what’s working and what isn’t before setting out detailed plans.
