“What discussions he has had with (a) Cabinet colleagues and (b) the Scottish Government on legislative proposals for a UK Internal Market.”
Answering Minister
the Secretary of State for Scotland
Answer from Hansard
The Chief Secretary to the Treasury (James Murray)
In my former role as the Minister with responsibility for the UK tax system, and on the Chancellor’s behalf, I have met farming representatives and farmers. Those discussions have included the National Farmers Union, the Tenant Farmers Association, the Country Land and Business Association, the Central Association of Agricultural Valuers, the Ulster Farmers Union, NFU Cymru, NFU Scotland and the Farmers Union of Wales. After listening, however, the Government continue to believe that the approach we have set out is the right one.
