| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “I agree with you. Nature recovery can and does support food production. We have to change the way we have done things in the past, not only to deal with farm pollution, which is really important. The more we deal with other greenhouse gases, the bigger the percentage farming pollution will become if we do not tackle it…” | 142 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “Thank you, Chair. It is a great pleasure to be here. I am looking forward to a good session today. I am Angela Eagle. I am the Member of Parliament for Wallasey. I am the Minister of State for farming, fishing, rural affairs and various other bits round the side. I will leave my colleagues to introduce themselves.” | 58 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “We have to look to see what we can do. This is part of the resilience issue. We have this paradox of having flooding and drought at the same time. My colleague Minister Hardy is looking to see what can be done with respect to shifting water resources around, so that they can be where they are more needed. That is more …” | 92 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “Yes, but it supports almost like collective organisations to try to sell, and only 20% of the horticulture sector uses them. We have to start looking at the particular needs of the horticulture sector. Some of that is with respect to energy, some of it is with planning issues for glasshouses and polytunnels, and some o…” | 159 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “No. It was a legacy EU scheme that we do not intend to continue. It creates producer organisations, which only 20% of the horticulture sector actually uses. We need to support the horticulture sector in a different way than using an old EU scheme. The horticulture sector has its particular issues and I am very interest…” | 98 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “But it probably was a Minister—I do not know; I was not there—who decided to increase the number of things that you could apply for from SFI ’23 from 23 to well over 100.” | 34 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 589) “Also, those representations are not done in a vacuum that excludes animal welfare.” | 13 |
| 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 589) “We are in the middle of developing a whole string of fair supply chain regulations to try to ensure, without controlling prices, which we have not done in this country for a very long time, that there is supply chain fairness. We have that for dairy. We have it coming in for pigs. We are looking at eggs. I have just an…” | 118 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 589) “If we think that there are issues that might cause that kind of disjunction and that cannot be corrected by our very sophisticated supply chains, yes. Generally, stockpiling is not a very good use of food supplies. If the political situation were to change or there were some disjunction in world supply, that would be d…” | 61 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “It is a two-way thing with civil servants. They give you advice and information; you ask questions. Then it is up to the Minister to decide what needs to be done, in accordance with whatever the manifesto commitments or values of the political party that happens to be in that Department at the time are, and in accordan…” | 68 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527) “Far be it from me to have any such view about that. They can make their own observations.” | 18 |
| 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 527) “I think that is more for me to say. All I can say at the moment is that we have robust discussions. I am given all the advice and information that I request and I do not think that I have any problems with officials giving me candid advice. You have to ask the right questions as well sometimes.” | 59 |
| 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 589) “I can’t either.” | 3 |
| 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 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) “They are represented.” | 3 |
| 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 |
