Greg Smith

Conservative — Mid Buckinghamshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 November 2024

Debate

Budget: Implications for Farming Communities

Contribution

There are already very low margins on every farm, including those in Mid Buckinghamshire. Will the addition of between £50 and £75 a tonne on the price of fertiliser, through the Government’s proposed carbon tax, increase food prices? Who will shoulder that burden? Will it be the farmer, or will it be the consumer?
