John Milne

Liberal Democrat — Horsham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 24 January 2025

Debate

Climate and Nature Bill

Contribution

The key stewards of our landscape for hundreds of years have been our farmers: no one has done more to make our countryside as beautiful as it is or has a bigger stake in protecting its health for the future. Does my hon. Friend agree that the path to net zero and sustainable local food production lies through our farming community, with the support provided by the Bill? If we are to get the best from our farmers, it is time to use rather more carrots and fewer sticks.
