Part of The Secretary of State Was Asked – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 5 May 2016.

He will be aware, however, that I have exercised the option granted by the Prime Minister to disagree with the Government on this particular issue. From a personal perspective, I simply say that the vast majority of problems farmers complain to me about are the consequence of dysfunctional EU legislation.
