The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment he has made of the the adequacy of the implementation of the Rock Review.

Answered by Daniel Zeichner

Defra works closely with the Farm Tenancy Forum and together have delivered the majority of the Rock Review recommendations. These include making Environmental Land Management schemes more accessible for tenants, setting the standard for landlord, tenant and agent behaviour with a new Code of Practice and announcing England’s first Commissioner for the Tenant Farming Sector. Defra continues to ensure that the unique needs of the sector are accounted for in policy design.
