| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “I have a feeling, and this is ahead of any decisions that might be made, that peer-to-peer advice is really important. There is a real skills and onward training issue in farming and agriculture that we probably need to be more coherent on, especially as agritech and the big changes that are coming up have to be taken …” | 80 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “Yes, on environmental improvement.” | 4 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 589) “It is the World Food Summit definition of food security. I have it written down here. It is the 1996 World Food Summit definition, which the Secretary of State read out for you as well. I will not waste your time by reading it into the record again.” | 48 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “Our big landscape recovery schemes are the things that will deliver a lot of environmental improvement. They are whole catchment areas, involving many different landowners. We are looking to see what we can do to increase involvement in them. There is a certain amount of money that can be redeployed when schemes come t…” | 179 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 589) “It is not a representative body, though.” | 7 |

| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “I want to be much more transparent about how it is going as we are going along. We are working on what we can do to communicate that in real time.” | 31 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 589) “Can you repeat your question? Sorry, I was still raising my eyes to the ceiling at your political comment and I forgot to concentrate on the actual question. Perhaps you could try me again.” | 34 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “We have to farm more sustainably. We will increase productivity and results if we can improve soil health, for example.” | 20 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 589) “Yes, I am happy to write to you with the latest iteration of the membership.” | 15 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 589) “I was up at Harper Adams the other day looking at what it is doing in terms of education and skills training. There is some very impressive work going on in our agricultural colleges. There are some gaps with onward skills training for people who are out there farming. With the march of agritech and some of the new tec…” | 202 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “There are ways to do it, which I am currently considering.” | 11 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “Absolutely, yes. Some of the constraints we have are in our IT. It was ever thus. If you look at the distribution of what has been bought with these schemes in the past, we have over-bought various things, such as herbal leys.” | 42 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 589) “We published on 11 December the first UK food security digest, which is intended to update the public on a selected range of priority indicators that are of a high interest or highly variable in the years when the main UK food security report is not published. We are keeping an eye on all this. We have to maintain our …” | 76 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 611) “If you are asking me to increase the compensation payments because they are not adequate, I hear what you are saying, but I would rather get to the stage where we can do some prevention. I would rather spend Government money on sorting out prevention than increase compensation. Short of the general reviews of these thi…” | 72 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 611) “The system that we have chosen is in line with the EU system. We do not want to have to do something different and then have to change it again.” | 30 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “You heard me talk about the distribution of the current scheme, where 25% of the funding has gone to 4% of farmers. That is not a distribution that will help deliver our environmental improvement requirements and I do not think that it is fair. Therefore, I am looking to see what we can do to have more of a focus on sm…” | 211 |
