Conservative — Aldridge-Brownhills

Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 November 2025

Debate

Land Use Change: Food Security

Contribution

We have had a good debate, but I feel that the conversation has only just started. So many questions remain. The key point is that food security needs to be recognised as critical to national security. There is no more time for warm words; we need some action. Our farmers and our farming community need action. I will try quickly to list all my asks. I would love the Government to take food security seriously, support our farmers and farming, axe the family farm tax, deliver a truly brownfield-first approach to development, and listen and respect the views of our farmers and local communities. Question put and agreed to. Resolved, That this House has considered the impact of land use change on food security.
