Partly because of that masterpiece of the Rock report, my noble friend was appointed as a non-executive director to Defra in May 2024. Then, in September 2024, just four months later, she was peremptorily sacked by the Labour Government with no good reason advanced at all. The Prime Minister said that tenant farmers must get a fair deal, and then the Government dismiss the one woman on the Defra board who would fight to give them that fair deal. That demonstrates that this Government cannot be trusted to treat all farmers fairly, or to deal fairly with tenants either. It seems there is one law for city tenants and landlords and another for rural ones.
