European Union (Finance) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 June 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on European Union (Finance) Bill.

As I am sure the hon. Gentleman is well aware, the farms in Northern Ireland are smaller. They are greater today than they were, say, 20 years ago, but they are still not big in comparison with those on the UK mainland. Does he agree that there needs to be consideration for the farms in Northern Ireland, particularly in my constituency of Strangford? He seems to be referring to farms that are very large. In Northern Ireland, we have farms with an average of 150 acres.
