Conservative — Aldridge-Brownhills

Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 November 2025

Debate

Land Use Change: Food Security

Contribution

That is exactly the point. Many farming families—often the hill farmers, in particular, but the arable farmers too—struggle. The last couple of years have been really difficult for many farmers. If they have one bad year, it is very hard for them to recover the next year. They are working against so many factors over which they have no control, weather being one of them. It is really important that, in all our deliberations, we recognise that.
