I certainly do. That is one of the things that the hon. Member for Gordon and Buchan and others have asked for, and I look forward to hearing the Minister’s response.
Sadly, pig farming cannot simply be switched on and off like a tap. It requires immense long-term investment, precision and...

The hon. Gentleman is right to outline the exports from the United Kingdom. In Northern Ireland, we export almost 80% of our product, so it is even more critical for us.

That this House notes with concern the growing pressure on UK egg producers as imports of eggs rise to around 1.6 billion annually, as reported by the British Egg Industry Council, despite many imports failing to meet welfare and food safety standards required by UK producers; acknowledges the important role of egg production in supporting local jobs and farm businesses in North Shropshire; recognises that the UK egg producers have invested significantly to produce eggs to high standards of welfare in compliance with the British Lion Code of Practice; and urges the Government to strengthen transparency, traceability and import controls for egg products to support UK farmers from being undercut by products produced under systems banned in the UK.

First, Mr Dowd, I commend you for taking the Chair and saving the debate. It is said that you never go home, so perhaps that is why you were able to get here.

The Minister will be aware that Northern Ireland operates a dual market economy, relying on the same supply base in GB and the Republic Ireland for structural steel sections. GB buyers are aggressively competing for the same limited pool of steel, making steel sourced from GB or imported directly from...

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the UK’s energy import dependence, particularly for gas and electricity.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the UK’s energy import dependence, particularly for gas and electricity.
In 2025, the UK imported 43TWh of electricity, equivalent to 13% of gross UK electricity supply. This helped to reduce reliance on more expensive generation and lower overall system costs. In the same period, the UK exported 12TWh of electricity, enabling the productive use of surplus generation.
Great Britain’s diverse gas supply mix limits reliance on any one source, with three LNG terminals, pipeline imports from Norway, Belgium and the Netherlands all contributing to our resilience.
The best way to retain our energy security is to speed up the transition away from fossil fuels and moving towards home-grown clean energy.
That this House notes with concern that the United Kingdom is still importing hunting trophies; further notes that the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora Trade Database shows that in 2024 such imports included trophies from Appendix I-listed species, among the most endangered in the world, including African elephants, leopards and black rhinoceroses; also notes that imports were licensed from a wide range of other species, including lions, giraffes, hippopotamuses, white rhinoceroses, bears, crocodiles, primates such as baboons and vervet monkeys, zebra, wolves, servals, caracals, civets and even a honey badger; recognises that the data demonstrates the continued import of significant numbers of trophies from iconic and ecologically important species, including at least 18 giraffes, over a dozen lions, and multiple primate and antelope species; is concerned that these trophies include both wild-sourced and captive-bred animals, including those associated with so-called canned hunting; acknowledges that opinion polls show the British public support an immediate and comprehensive ban on trophy hunting imports; notes that a Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs consultation found that 86% of over 44,000 respondents supported a total ban on the import of hunting trophies; commends the work of the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting and coalition partner organisations, including Campaign Against Trophy and Canned Hunting, in investigating the industry and raising awareness of the impacts of trophy hunting; and further recognises that the Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill has previously passed all stages in the House.

I commend the hon. Gentleman. I am mindful that the best chips come from Comber spuds and the best fish comes from Portavogie—that is just me talking up my own area. Does he agree that the new fisheries management plans have resulted in reduced total allowable catches, affecting local supply?...

I commend the hon. Gentleman for bringing this matter forward; he is absolutely right to underline these issues. Does he not agree that the recent EU-Mercosur deal opens the EU market to increased imports of agricultural products such as beef, poultry, sugar and ethanol under tariff-rate quotas? That may well...

I thank the Minister very much for his positive statement. It is great that the Government’s critical minerals strategy aims to reduce our over-reliance on foreign suppliers and to build a more resilient domestic supply chain, which is central to our growth sectors and to clean energy. He referred to...

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he has had recent discussions with his US counterpart on the import of hormone-treated beef into the UK.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he has had recent discussions with his US counterpart on the import of hormone-treated beef into the UK.
The Secretary of State for Business and Trade engages regularly with the US. On 8 May, we announced a landmark economic deal with the US, making the UK the first country to reach an agreement with President Trump.
We have agreed new reciprocal market access on beef - with UK farmers given a guaranteed quota for 13,000 metric tonnes of beef exports at a very low tariff rate. Imports of hormone treated beef will remain illegal. Our approach to this trade deal has ensured that any agricultural imports coming into the UK will meet the highest food standards.
That this House recognises and applauds the historic trade deal established between the UK and the UK as a major achievement for the UK economy and a testament to the Government's commitment to enhancing international trade relations; acknowledges the potential boost that this agreement represents for various sectors across the nation, further solidifying the UK's standing within the global market; expresses concern, however, regarding the impact of the tariff removal on ethanol imports from the US, which allows volumes that are equivalent to the entire current UK market; believes that this adjustment poses significant challenges to local companies, whose competitiveness may be adversely affected by the influx of US ethanol, threatening jobs and growth in the UK's domestic ethanol industry; notes the importance of the green industry in Hull and East Yorkshire, which plays a crucial role in the sustainable energy landscape of the UK; and calls upon the Government to carefully consider the potential economic repercussions on local producers and ensure measures are taken to protect and nurture this vital sector of the UK economy, promoting a balanced trade approach that supports both international and domestic growth.

The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right, and he sums up our views.
The decision to introduce the farmers’ inheritance tax will destroy the very essence of what so many farmers have worked hard to achieve. I have called on numerous occasions for the Minister to support us. He is an honourable...
