To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps she is taking to support new farming entrants in England.

Answer

Dame Angela Eagle

To secure that future for young farmers, we are investing £2.7 billion annually and developing a 25-year roadmap to boost profitability.
