Proceeding contribution from Baroness McIntosh of Pickering (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 March 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Common Agricultural Policy.
Common Agricultural Policy
We are benefiting from the fact that the Government's thinking has moved on. If the Government are eventually moving away from direct payments, what tools does the Minister hope to use to make UK farming more competitive? I do not think that agri-environment schemes make British farming more competitive. They deliver sustainable farming, but we are looking to develop more competitiveness across the EU.
