Conservative — Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk

Speaking in the House of Commons on 8 May 2025

Debate

Trade Negotiations

Contribution

Thank you, Mr Speaker, for dragging the Minister to the House tonight to explain the terms of the deal. After hammering farms with the family farm tax, it now looks like Labour is selling our farmers down the river, allowing cheap, low-quality imports from the United States. President Trump’s Secretary of Agriculture has said: “This deal puts our great American Agricultural Producers FIRST!” Is she wrong?
