Yes, the Government will make sure that we do continue to listen.
Chris Hinchliff (North East Hertfordshire) (Lab)
I thank the Minister for listening and acting on the concerns that I and many other Labour MPs raised alongside our farming constituents. Now that a happier compromise has been found on inheritance tax, the issue remains one of securing a profitable future for nature-friendly farming in our country. Can the Minister provide an update on what actions the Treasury is taking to support the swift roll-out of our manifesto commitment for 50% of the food bought by the public sector to be locally produced?
Dan Tomlinson
I cannot update my hon. Friend at this moment, but I would be happy to write to him on that point.
