The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether he plans to reintroduce capital grant schemes for farmers.

Answered by Daniel Zeichner

In November 2024, we closed parts of the Capital Grants scheme to new applications following unprecedented demand. We are reviewing the Capital Grants offer to ensure funding goes further to improve outcomes for food security and nature conservation. We will provide an update in due course.
