Proceeding contribution from Scott Arthur (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 January 2026. It occurred during Opposition day on Rural Communities.


Rural Communities

I think it is great that, rather than just criticising the Government, the hon. Lady is outlining a set of policies that the Lib Dems would take forward to support farming communities. What is not clear, however, is how it would all be funded. How much would that list of policies cost, how would it be funded, and what would be the impact on the economy?
