• Oral Answers to Questions — Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Leaving the EU: Food Prices 20 Apr 2017

  Thank you, Mr Speaker. Farmers across the south-west are rightly very proud of the high-quality food that they produce, be it beef, lamb, milk and so on. What opportunities from leaving the EU does the Minister see to ensure that they get a fair price for that food in the future?

• Oral Answers to Questions — Church Commissioners: Number of Vocations 20 Apr 2017

  I welcome that news, and the initiatives on raising the number of clergy vocations. Stealing metal from church roofs is indeed an unfortunate vocation. What are we doing in the Yeovil area specifically to stop such theft?

• Diesel Vehicle Scrappage Scheme — [Mr Christopher Chope in the Chair] 19 Apr 2017
