PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Agriculture: Weather (5 September 2018)

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make an assessment of the implications for his policies of the approach taken by the devolved administrations in supporting farmers and food producers during the dry weather in summer 2018.

Asked by:
Rosie Duffield (Independent)

As agricultural policy in the UK is devolved, it is for each administration to decide its approach and what measures it should adopt according to its evaluation of the situation which pertains to its area. Accordingly, it would not be appropriate for Defra to comment on the approach which the devolved administrations have taken.
