Carla Lockhart

Independent — Upper Bann

Speaking in the House of Commons on 27 October 2026

Debate

Domestic Farming and Food Supply

Contribution

The hon. Member’s farmers will have heard his point very clearly. He is a real advocate for the farming community in his constituency, and he is absolutely right. Driving production overseas will not remove the need for food. It will leave us buying more of it from elsewhere, with less control over how it is produced and with further distances to transport it.
