Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to consult (1) farmers, and (2) environmental groups, during the review of Environmental Land Management schemes; and when the review will conclude.
The environmental land management schemes have been designed to be as accessible and attractive to as wide a range of farmers as possible. We continue to work closely with a range of environmental and agricultural stakeholders to collaboratively design our new approaches to ensure they are fit for purpose. There is no scheduled end date to our engagement.
