The Government’s consultation, “Health and Harmony: the future for food, farming and the environment in a Green Brexit” which set out the policy framework for agriculture in England after the UK leaves the EU closed on 8 May.

As part of this, we asked for views from those in the industry to make sure future agricultural policy reflects the reality of life for farmers and food producers. All responses received are being analysed and will be used to inform future policy.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 06/06/2018 13:38:05 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
