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

To ask His Majesty's Government when the Tenancy Reform Industry Group (TRIG) will report on farm tenancy agreements.

The Tenancy Reform Industry Group (TRIG) is a valuable advisory body with an interest in all issues relating to agricultural tenancies. When required, the Group provides the Government and industry with advice, information, guidance and evidence on agricultural tenancies. TRIG is a valuable forum to discuss current agriculture tenancy and associated issues and when appropriate engages and seeks advice from other experts within the industry. For example, TRIG has recently published industry-led guidance on tree planting and agricultural tenancies and a code of good practice for projects, schemes or works that require landlord consent. While TRIG has no immediate plans to provide a report on farm tenancy agreements, the Government will continue to discuss farm tenancy issues with TRIG on an ongoing basis.
