The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what fiscal steps she is taking to support family farmers.

Answered by James Murray

The Government is investing £5bn across this year and next to support the transition to a more sustainable and productive sector which will help ensure its long-term profitability. This includes a £60m payment to help farmers deal with the devastating impact flooding has had across the country.
