Baroness Walmsley (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 January 2025

Debate

Global Warming

Contribution

My Lords, I will speak in the gap, for one minute only, because there has been only a very brief mention in this debate—by the noble Lord, Lord Curry—of the potential for action on nature recovery by tenant farmers and the barriers to that. Half of all farmable land in this country is either fully or partly tenanted, so we cannot afford to ignore the contribution of tenant farmers. Is the Minister aware of the 2022 Rock review on tenant farmers led by the noble Baroness, Lady Rock? It was commissioned by the last Government following recommendations in your Lordships’ Science and Technology Committee report of that year on nature-based solutions to climate change. Will the Minister look at the review and assess whether recent developments in response to the recommendations have been adequate?
