David Mundell
The hon. Gentleman is misrepresenting the situation. Scotland will have flexibility to determine its own arrangements in relation to CAP reform.
Mr Russell Brown (Dumfries and Galloway) (Lab)
With rising food prices and food poverty, has the Minister made any representations to colleagues about the need to grow more food in Scotland?
David Mundell
The hon. Gentleman will know that in his constituency, as in my own constituency, there is a strong view that we should grow more of our own food. I encourage local farmers to do so.
