Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Marcus Jones (Conservative). It was answered by James Paice (Conservative) on Thursday, 24 June 2010 on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

Campaign for the Farmed Environment

Question: What recent discussions she has had on the objectives of the Campaign for the Farmed Environment; and if she will make a statement.

Answer: The Government are strongly committed to the Campaign for the Farmed Environment, which we consider to be an excellent example of the farming industry taking responsibility for its environmental impacts. The Secretary of State and I met a number of senior representatives of the campaign's partner organisations at the recent cereals event and discussed aspects of the campaign with them, and we look forward to receiving the progress report later this month.
