The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of reduced milling premiums on farmers.

The Department has not conducted an assessment of the impact of reduced milling premiums on farmers. However, the Government recognises that fluctuations in quality-based market premiums, including those for milling wheat can affect farm incomes and business resilience.
