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


Campaign for the Farmed Environment

Question
I thank the Minister for his response. He may be interested to know that I shall be attending an event to promote the Campaign for the Farmed Environment in my constituency this very evening. Can he say what the level of uptake has been for the campaign across the country?
Answer

The latest statistics we have are from a survey done in February. As I have said, there will be a further report shortly, but the latest statistics show that 25% of farmers had already taken measures under the campaign and that another 50% plan to do so in the near future.
