Proceeding contribution from Lord Herbert of South Downs (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 June 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Rural Communities (Recession).
Rural Communities (Recession)
Perhaps the Minister would like to intervene again and tell me whether the Secretary of State will lead that debate. We would welcome that. It will be the first agricultural debate in Government time under the Labour Government. I was reporting not my view, but the widespread view in the countryside about the Government's interest in rural people. I am afraid that the Secretary of State's absence will serve only to reinforce it, and the Minister should take that message back to him.
