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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will publish a breakdown of the number of farmers that have left the profession in (a) England and (b) Wales in each year since 2010.

We do not collect data on the numbers of farmers who leave the industry each year so no data is available for England. Agriculture is a devolved matter so we cannot provide comment on whether any Welsh data exists.
