Virement Of Farm Tax
EDM number 1042 in 2007-08, proposed by Paul Flynn on 26/02/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Agriculture, Farmers and Incomes and poverty.
That this House notes that cereal farms in England saw an increase of 70 per cent. in average income in 2006-07 and a further increase of 45 per cent. in 2007-08; regrets the consequent increase in the price of grain to pig and other farmers; and believes virement of the windfall profits from grain farmers to farmers in difficulty would be a fair solution for all, including the average family that is forced to pay £540 a year in farm tax.
This motion has been signed by a total of 8 MPs.
