Tim Farron

Liberal Democrat — Westmorland and Lonsdale

Speaking in the House of Commons on 29 April 2026

Debate

Agriculture: Government Support

Contribution

Does my hon. Friend share my concern that the 4,000 farmers in England who farm on common land, mostly in the uplands, are not able to get any funding at all because the Rural Payments Agency software prevents applications? Does he agree that the Government should change their approach so that farmers in the uplands on common land can make those claims?
