“A number of Bills included in today’s King’s Speech at the State Opening of Parliament will be significant for British farm businesses and the nation's food security, not least those relating to planning reform and infrastructure, crime and policing, mental health, skills and new technologies and renewable energy opportunities through the creation of GB Energy.
“Our farmers and growers are ambitious for the future, and with new policies that revitalise farm business confidence, government can help to kickstart economic growth, deliver affordable, climate friendly, high welfare food production, improve the environment, and stimulate clean energy supply.
“We look forward to working in partnership with this new government to help shape the legislation that will deliver this change.”
