Single Farm Payment And Dairy Farming

EDM number 864 in 2006-07, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 07/02/2007.

That this House notes the difficulties being experienced by farmers in receiving payments under the Single Farm Payment Scheme; recognises that many farmers are facing financial difficulties and are being placed at a competitive disadvantage; further notes that while average farm incomes have increased this is not the case for dairy farmers, who continue to struggle to function with extremely low farmgate milk prices; recognises that the delays in the single farm payment and mounting red tape hit these farmers even harder; and calls on the Government to act now to speed up payments to farmers under the single farm payment, look to reduce the amount of red tape faced by farmers and help dairy farmers in particular by working with supermarkets and milk purchasers to increase the farmgate milk price paid to dairy farmers and ensure that the UK dairy farming industry has a sustainable future.

This motion has been signed by a total of 39 MPs.
