Homes in Newton Poppleford, Tipton St John, Metcombe and Venn Ottery in my East Devon constituency were badly damaged by recent flash floods. I went to see the residents, and the result of the flooding is heartbreaking. Insurance companies really need to step up and support those residents, who rallied around each other in very difficult circumstances. Will the Secretary of State meet me to discuss the multi-agency response to the recent flooding, because the risk of floods in East Devon is not going anywhere?

A year on from my request from this Dispatch Box for an urgent meeting on food security, the Government's Farm to Fork summit was described by attendees as “no more than a PR stunt” that will do nothing to help the cost of living crisis. The Secretary of State also knows that fishing is a key pillar of our food security, but it is under grave threat on Teesside. Given that crustacean die-offs continue to cripple generations of fishers, will she join me in demanding that the inevitable “truth on Teesside” public inquiry includes this environmental and economic disaster in its terms of reference?

Seven parish councils along the River Severn from Aust to Sharpness have joined forces under the chairmanship of local resident Mr Barry Turner to ask the Environment Agency for improvements along the riverbank, in preparation for rising tide heights and more extreme weather events. Will the Minister meet me, Mr Turner and the local councillor, Matthew Riddle, to discuss their concerns and help find a solution?

Yesterday, we learned that sugar prices have risen by a massive 47% in the past year, and industry experts predict that they will rise again this autumn, because of the high energy costs of extracting and refining sugar. What steps is the Minister taking to support the food and drink sector throughout this period of extreme inflationary pressure, so that these costs are not, yet again, passed on to consumers?

My local farmers have told me that they need their seasonal worker visas extended to a nine-month period from six. Will the Department work with the Home Office to have that extended?

Should not the cost of cleaning up our waterways be met by the profits of water companies, not higher bills paid for by hard-pressed consumers?

My constituents have concerns over a possible ban on e-collars. In Wales, where these devices are prohibited, there has been an increase in sheep attacks, leading to the use of more harmful electric fences. Will my right hon. Friend consider some form of licensing or regulation for their usage instead?

Negotiations for the comprehensive and progressive agreement for trans-Pacific partnership included concessions to Malaysia on palm oil tariffs. What role did DEFRAD have in these negotiations? Will the Government ensure back letters protect social and environmental interests?

Only 21% of farmers report reliable mobile signals across their farms, and fewer than half have adequate broadband. What are my right hon. Friend and the Department doing to prioritize increased connectivity for rural businesses?

Boats are tying up due to inability to get crew, as the Home Office has not conceded on a visa scheme. Can the Minister confirm if his Department counts such boats and provide numbers?

Large numbers of puppies and dogs are smuggled into the UK each year. Can my right hon. Friend confirm that the Government will commit to bringing back animal welfare legislation?

Why has it taken so long for Ministers to respond formally to the Fur Market consultation launched more than two years ago?

Not one but two rogue operators are causing issues at Walleys Quarry Landfill. What will the Minister do to ensure justice and accountability for affected constituents?

Will the Minister meet me and representatives of the HTA to discuss additional steps the Government can take to support the development of viable peat alternatives?
