The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether she plans to set out plans for spatial prioritisation of ELM in line with the Land Use Framework.

Answered by Mary Creagh

We will include information about the spatial prioritisation of ELMS in the forthcoming Farming Roadmap. In the Land Use Framework we committed to publishing the assumptions and analysis underpinning potential changes later this year to ensure the sector has full sight of the evidence we are considering. Changes will be made incrementally to a clear timetable and will be subject to the findings of this published analysis.
