answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2015 answer text <p>The Government recognises that longer tenancies for some farm businesses are important to provide tenants with security to invest and grow their businesses. Flexibility to agree contracts that suit a range of business needs is also important to enable a diverse farming sector. We are working closely with industry to develop policy priorities for a 25-year Food and Farming Plan. Agricultural tenancies and other farming business models will be considered as part of these discussions to help deliver a competitive farming sector in future.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice grouped question UIN 5930 question first answered 13/07/2015 13:04:59 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
