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.
