answer text <p>As announced in the Queen’s Speech, we intend to introduce an Agriculture Bill in this parliamentary session. This Bill will support a thriving and self-reliant farming sector and deliver on the manifesto commitment to provide stability for farmers as we leave the European Union. The Three-Crop Rule is the type of well-meaning but ineffective rule that we want to review in favour of better environmental outcomes.</p><p> </p><p>The Government plans to consult ahead of the introduction of the Agriculture Bill. This will allow us to take on views from interested groups and individuals.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Subsidies are not paid to support shooting activities. Grouse moors are also used by farmers for grazing; specific data on payments to farmers who maintain grouse moors is not held as payments under the Common Agricultural Policy are made to eligible claimants on the basis of the area of agricultural land they own, not the activities which may take place on that land. Payments that farmers in moorland areas receive under the Common Agricultural Policy help them maintain our moorlands and deliver a significant boost for tourism and the rural economy in these areas.</p> more like this
