Proceeding contribution from Baroness McIntosh of Pickering (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 1 June 2026. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Middle East: Economic Response.


Middle East: Economic Response

I wish to raise the issue of the increase in price and the shortage of supply of red diesel and the impact that that is having on farming and food production. Is that something

the Government are monitoring, and might they take steps to alleviate the damage being caused to farming communities?
