Proceeding contribution from Huw Irranca-Davies (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 February 2012. It occurred during Grand Committee proceedings (HC) on Agricultural Policy.


Agricultural Policy

I simply point out that contrary to that point, as I think the hon. Member for Brecon and Radnorshire will know, for a long time the chairman of the Farmers Union of Wales in Brecon was not only a Labour supporter but a Labour Member. The post-war Labour Government have always been regarded by farmers as the Government who put farming on its feet after the second world war. I could go on and on. Lord Morris of Aberavon was, of course, the legal instigator of the Farmers’ Union of Wales. I will stop there.
