By Jamie Greene | 12 January 2021 | 38 comments

Theresa Villiers: Ministers need to ensure Britain’s trade partners meet our agricultural standards

The UK market for food and groceries is a massive prize for any country to be allowed greater access to it. We should not sell ourselves short.

By Theresa Villiers MP | 4 November 2020 | 37 comments

Christopher Fraser: Brexit gives us a huge opportunity for agricultural innovation

Improved crop protection can be achieved in a safe way to improve the environment and food security. The UK must not be left behind.

By Christopher Fraser | 31 October 2020 | 65 comments

Richard Holden: The Japan trade deal, future CPTPP membership – deliverers of wages, prosperity and work to my Durham constituents.

They can seem remote from the everyday priorities of people here at home. But at its heart, trade is a powerful way to deliver what people really care about.

By Richard Holden MP | 26 October 2020 | 62 comments

Minette Batters: Today, MPs should insist on better scrutiny arrangements for future trade deals

Debate on the Agriculture Bill gives them the chance to call for more effective measures than those which independent assessments find wanting.

By Minette Batters | 12 October 2020 | 117 comments

Tony Hockley: The future of farming must be diverse

It is deeply dangerous for discussions around this sector to not only exclude half of the population by gender, but ignore wider demographic change.

By Tony Hockley | 1 October 2020 | 35 comments

Stephen Booth: To reach a best in class trade deal with New Zealand and Australia, we need to liberalise on agriculture

The crux of the trade negotiations is to what degree we’re prepared to do this – in return for a high-quality agreement on trade in services, data and investment.

By Stephen Booth | 1 October 2020 | 105 comments

Stephen Booth: Why Stilton matters to the Japanese trade deal – and how talks can bring the UK closer to the CPTPP

Trade negotiations and agreements are inherently political.

By Stephen Booth | 20 August 2020 | 56 comments

Andrew Bowie: Evidence today that Ministers won’t negotiate trade deals that expose British farmers to unfair competition

I, for one, see this new Commission as further evidence that the Government will take expert advice that benefits farmers and consumers.

By Andrew Bowie | 29 July 2020 | 62 comments

Dehenna Davison: Why a trade deal with the United States should be Britain’s top priority

New opportunities for our exporters, and the foundations for a powerful international partnership with the clout to take on Brussels or Beijing.

By Dehenna Davison MP | 19 June 2020 | 121 comments

Mark Bridgeman: Farmers deserve clarity on arrangements for leaving the Common Agricultural Policy

The transition is much-needed for sustainability. But it must begin with a manageable reduction in the payments. Or we could be plunged into crisis.

By Mark Bridgeman | 16 June 2020 | 42 comments

Anthony Browne: We can and must strike a US trade deal that protects animal welfare

There is precedent for using tariffs to reward those who meet higher standards, and major American producers would be on board.

By Anthony Browne | 28 May 2020 | 111 comments

The triumph of Whatsapp and trouble for the whips

Groups of MPs are able to beat their jungle drums into a frenzy. And the powers-that-be have limited capacity to quieten them.

By Paul Goodman | 22 May 2020 | 10 comments

Ben Goldsmith: Younger, leave-backing voters want a greener, environmentally-aware Conservative Party

We have a tremendous opportunity to lead the response, and we must not cede any ground to a newly energised anti-environment lobby.

By Ben Goldsmith | 22 May 2020 | 75 comments

People cannot simply be viewed as consumers or producers – there are other dimensions to policy, including the stewardship of the countryside.
