Agriculture Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Judd (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 15 September 2020. It occurred during Debate on bills on Agriculture Bill.

My Lords, the value of the amendment is that it calls our bluff. The environment is something of which we are all in favour, like goodness and all the rest. But the question is: how do we turn our commitment in that sphere into action, and into substance? The amendment brings that home. We should not just get on with the task of agriculture and then add, “There’s an environmental concern, isn’t that nice?” We must relate the two, and this is the way to do it, so I am glad to support the amendment.
