| 18 Dec 2025 | Agricultural and Business Property Relief: Food Prices “I am more than happy to look at how Italy does things, but that can be a bit of a double-edged sword. I sympathise and empathise with coeliacs, who have to deal with much higher prices. Some of that is to do with production and the need to ensure that there is no cross-contamination of foods. It may well be that it is …” agriculturefiscal-policycost-of-living | 90 |
| 18 Dec 2025 | Support for Dairy Farmers “The global glut of milk has led to instability in price, which is difficult as many of our food prices are reliant on global markets. We have put in place the Fair Dealing Obligations (Milk) Regulations 2024, and we will be keeping a close eye on the sector to see what else we can do to ensure that we continue to suppo…” agricultureeconomy-jobsimmigration | 63 |
| 18 Dec 2025 | Topical Questions “That is absolutely true. Stepping forward with confidence into the future using new agritech techniques, diversifying farm income and seeing what we can do in partnership with the industry, as Baroness Batters’ report says this morning, is the way forward; talking down the industry and covering it in doom and gloom is …” agricultureenvironmentfiscal-policy | 53 |
| 18 Dec 2025 | Support for Dairy Farmers “We have a close relationship with the Home Office, and I have old contacts there too. I promise that we keep a close eye on these things and look at what we can do about emerging shortages. Given that we want to reduce the number of people who come into this country and that we want to create job opportunities for peop…” agricultureeconomy-jobsimmigration | 81 |
| 18 Dec 2025 | Topical Questions “We have to get the science right on vaccination trials. The turkey trial is being carried out because this is one of our most valuable stocks, so we cannot rush it. I would not want to get our turkey industry into a situation where the vaccination trial was rushed and we were not sure of the response, because if there …” agricultureenvironmentfiscal-policy | 70 |

| 18 Dec 2025 | Topical Questions “We have already brought forward some sectoral regulations to improve fairness, but there is a built-in difficulty when there are small suppliers and very large buyers. The fairness regulations that the hon. Gentleman talks about have been put in place to try to redress that difficulty.” agricultureenvironmentfiscal-policy | 46 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “No.” | 1 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “It is not being snuck out on the last day before Christmas. It is not. There are a great number of reports across Government that have to be got out. There is the infamous No. 10 grid that you may remember from previous Administrations. We have to get the sequencing of all Government announcements right. I do not think…” | 147 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 589) “Yes, let’s see how it goes.” | 6 |

| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 680) “I have seen the maps and, when you overlay those with the marine protected areas and you then look at what is happening with energy infrastructure, the things we cannot talk about, which are military, and various other things, there is a genuine spatial squeeze. We have to make certain that we make the right decisions …” | 82 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “DEFRA is extremely good at that, I might add. I have discovered that since I got here.” | 17 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 589) “I am unaware of that particular case, but, given that we are doing trade deals, we are doing our best to protect our domestic producers in the best ways that we can. I cannot really comment on the Rotterdam butter until I know more about it, but I am happy to find out.” | 53 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 680) “What did he say?” | 4 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 680) “It is quite interesting, isn’t it? It is about the only thing that we do not have a strategy for. As a person who likes strategies, I can see the benefit. There has not been an announcement about that, but I am more than open to thinking about it when I can draw breath after all the things that have been thrown at me a…” | 77 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “It is quite difficult to undo what has come before. Well, it is impossible to undo what has come before, and we have three to five-year schemes that do not run out, so by definition you have to run these things in parallel. If we can get the approach right, and with the fact that the Batters review ought to be looked a…” | 235 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 680) “I have been struck, since I got this job, by how complex a lot of the issues that are facing the industry at the moment are. That is because of not only the requirement, which has been very well delivered this year by colleagues, to negotiate the fishing opportunities on an annual basis, but the spatial squeeze—what el…” | 279 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 680) “The Calamari (Enforcement) Regulations 2026.” | 5 |
