Agriculture plays a very important part in day-to-day life across the Derbyshire Dales Constituency and is extremely important to the local economy.
I welcome the introduction of the Agriculture Bill, which is an extremely important piece of legislation. I will be following it's progress carefully and have applied to Mr Speaker to speak during the Second Reading debate on Wednesday 10th October. I hope that I will be fortunate enough to be called, but I will certainly be present for the opening speeches. I will also bear in mind the points which constituents and lobbying organisations have raised with me over the past few weeks.
