The MP raises concerns about regulatory obstacles hindering entrepreneurial activities in agriculture.
Question
One of the challenges for risk-taking farmers is the regulatory environment. Will the Secretary of State update the House on how he will bring together Natural England, the Environment Agency and other agencies to reflect and be much more responsive to the enterprise culture in farming?
Answer from Steve Reed
I share the right hon. Member's interest in the need for effective regulation. I will soon make an announcement about our intentions to review regulation to ensure that it is fit for purpose across the Department and helps to achieve the priority objectives that we have set out as a new Government and ministerial team.
Not addressed: Specifics of regulatory review were not provided, only intention to review
