Proceeding contribution from David Simpson (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 December 2005. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Agriculture (Northern Ireland).

Agriculture (Northern Ireland)

I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for South Antrim (Dr. McCrea) on securing the debate. I listened carefully; he covered nearly every point of agriculture, including the fertiliser that goes on the grass. I have to congratulate him on going into so much detail, because agriculture is an important industry in Northern Ireland. My background in the agricultural business is 25 years in the meat industry. With my youthful looks, people find it hard to believe that I have been in it for 25 years, but that is so.
