Catherine Fookes

Labour — Monmouthshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 8 October 2024

Debate

Farming and Food Security

Contribution

As my hon. Friend said, many Labour Members are supportive of farmers. I am a proud farmer’s daughter and I am delighted to speak in this debate. The previous Government sold farmers down the river. We had disastrous trade deals and they suffer from terrible weather—we can, at least, say that that was not the Tories’ fault. Does my hon. Friend agree that if we are to support Welsh farmers, they need a strong financial package?
