Crofting Federation quizzes party leaders on agricultural policy intentions
Tuesday, May 23, 2017
The Scottish Crofting Federation (SCF) has written to all the main party leaders asking them to outline their intentions for agriculture and rural development policy in the lead-up to the general election.
The chair of the SCF, Russell Smith, said, “What happens to agriculture and rural development post-Brexit depends very much on the outcome of the national elections and the intentions of the parties that will hold power, both in the UK and in Scotland. There are fundamental issues to think about, such as the devolution of decision-making and the size of budget, and how that budget will be allocated. A major concern is with trade agreements and what Scotland’s relationship with the European Union will be.” You can read more and see the list of questions asked of party leaders here
