Proceeding contribution from Lord Cavendish of Furness (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 27 March 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Rural Payments Agency.


Rural Payments Agency

My Lords, I also declare an interest as a hopeful farmer. The Minister spoke of farmers with cash-flow problems. Surely he is aware that all farmers rely entirely on positive cash flow. Is he further aware of the extraordinary distress caused to my neighbours in Cumbria? I know that the noble Lord is sensitive to criticism, but will he look at the Statement again and accept that its language suggests total indifference to all of us who work in the countryside?
