answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2021 answer text <p>Rent prices could fall for tenant farmers as Direct Payments are removed. There is evidence that Direct Payments inflate farm rent prices, meaning some of the payment supports the income of the landowner, not the tenant farmer.</p><p> </p><p>Academic evidence suggests that an average of 20 to 25 cents per euro paid to tenants across the EU goes to the landlord, though the land market conditions in England give reason to believe the figure could be different here. A combination of high demand for farmland, varied rental agreements and re-directed Direct Payment spend means that any fall in rents is difficult to estimate with certainty. Additionally, it's likely there would be large regional and local variations linked to considerable differences in demand and supply of land across the country.</p> answering member constituency Banbury answering member printed Victoria Prentis question first answered 02/02/2021 13:13:40 answering member 4401 label Biography information for Victoria Prentis

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2021 answer text <p>Reservation No 13 of the Services and Investment chapter in the UK/EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement allows the UK to set landing requirements for vessels flying its flag. A consultation on how to strengthen the economic link licence condition in England closed in November and officials are working on the Government’s response which we will publish shortly.
