Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs written question – answered on 18th September 2018.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to maintain the financial support to the agricultural sector following Brexit.
This Government has pledged to continue to commit the same cash total in funds for farm support until the end of this parliament, expected in 2022. We have also confirmed we will pay the 2019 Basic Payment Scheme on the same basis as we do now. All Pillar 2 projects signed by 31 December 2020 will be funded for their lifetime. Any changes made to agricultural funding would reflect the Government’s aim of securing a better future for UK agriculture and for the environment.
