Agricultural funding will, therefore, be unaffected by the UK’s withdrawal from the EU for the remainder of this MFF.</p><p> </p><p>Beyond 2020, this Government has also pledged to continue to commit the same cash total in funds for farm support until the end of the parliament, expected in 2022. This is a greater level of security and certainty for farmers and landowners than anywhere else in the EU, where funding has only been agreed up until 2020.</p> answering member constituency Vale of Glamorgan answering member printed Alun Cairns question first answered 24/05/2018 10:12:10 answering member 4086 label Biography information for Alun Cairns

The UK Government expects that the return of powers from the EU will lead to a significant increase in the decision-making powers of the Welsh Government. UK or GB wide frameworks will enable us to safeguard the internal market, enable the UK to agree international trade deals and allow the UK to fulfil our international obligations.</p> answering member constituency Vale of Glamorgan answering member printed Alun Cairns question first answered 16/04/2018 10:28:45 answering member 4086 label Biography information for Alun Cairns
