Caroline Voaden

Liberal Democrat — South Devon

Speaking in the House of Commons on 29 April 2026

Debate

Agriculture: Government Support

Contribution

Many farmers are relying on SFI, but it closed to new applications in March and is yet to reopen, and there is no clarity about the future budget. Delays in payments to those who have agreements have caused significant concern to many of my constituents who have faced cash-flow issues. Does my hon. Friend agree that greater clarity must be provided to farmers on the future offer across various environmental schemes, as well as a commitment to improve the efficiency of payments?
