Question to the Northern Ireland Office:
What discussions he has had with the Northern Ireland Executive on support for the farming industry in rural areas in Northern Ireland.
This question was answered on 2nd April 2025
I very recently met with the Executive Minister for the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, Minister Muir, and discussed support for the farming industry. We also visited a farm near Newry and talked directly with farmers and I have met with the Ulster Farmers Union twice in the last two weeks. We are committing to supporting local farmers and the important rural economy.
