Proceeding contribution from Jonathan Shaw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 July 2007. It occurred during Estimates day on Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs..


Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

I understand my hon. Friend’s frustration. He has saved the Department some money by not claiming. However, I am advised that the EU definition of a farmer includes simply keeping land in good agricultural and environmental condition.
