Text

Thank you, Mr Speaker. I thank the Minister for a very detailed answer. He will be aware that politicians can make false promises. That leads me to the Labour Government, particularly in regard to farming and agriculture. Our farming families and agriculture sector were hit with a double whammy of unfulfilled promises by the Labour Government last year. What assurance can the Minister give to the farming and agri-sector about its voice in the creation of and outcomes for a just transition commission, given that farmers and the agriculture sector probably face some of the biggest challenges when it comes to helping us achieve net zero?
