	uin	270302
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2019 answer text The Government has pledged to continue to commit the same cash total in funds for farm support until the end of the parliament. It has also set out its plans for English agriculture policy after we have left the EU, including phasing down direct payments from 2021 over seven years. Agriculture is a devolved matter, so it is for the Welsh Government to decide whether to continue with direct payments in Wales. We will continue to engage with the Welsh Government on arrangements for domestic replacement funding after 2022, but have already committed not to simply apply the Barnett Formula to agriculture funding in England. This means that funding will not just be allocated according to the population of each nation. answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 05/07/2019 11:23:04 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
