First Delegated Legislation Committee: The draft Agriculture (Delinked Payments) (Reductions) (England) Regulations 2026

Parliamentary debate

This committee will scrutinise draft regulations setting out how delinked payments to English farmers will be reduced from 2026 onwards. Delinked payments are subsidies no longer tied to production levels; the government is phasing them down as part of its agricultural policy reform. The committee will examine the reduction rates, transitional arrangements, and impact on farm incomes.

The regulations determine how quickly the government withdraws direct subsidy support from English farmers, affecting farm viability and investment decisions across the sector. Farmers have faced uncertainty over post-Brexit agricultural support; this instrument fixes the pace and scale of subsidy withdrawal, making it material to rural income and food production capacity.
