Proceeding contribution from John Hayes (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 July 2005. It occurred during Opposition day on Government Regulation.


Government Regulation

Even the Minister would not argue that farm businesses have prospered under this Government. Farm businesses have been faced with ever-greater regulation, ranging from fallen stock to controls on livestock markets. Farm incomes have fallen consistently. The number of people in farming has also declined since 1997. What assessment has he made of the impact on farming of the Government’s activities and, in particular, regulation since 1997?
