Sustainable Farming Incentive: Small Farms
My Lords, I declare my farming interests in Buckinghamshire and Lincolnshire. I very much welcome the announcement on SFI support for smaller farms, although I have many of the same reservations as the noble Lord, Lord Colgrain. However, does the Ministe

I thank the Minister for her response. Surely the guiding principle should be that tenants in the social rented sector should have the same level of investment in their properties as those in the private sector. I think that is an important principle. Th
My Lords, I beg leave to ask the Question standing in my name on the Order Paper. In doing so, I declare my interest in the private rented sector, with rented cottages in Buckinghamshire and Lincolnshire.
To ask His Majesty’s Government why the cost caps proposed for landlords in the social and private rented sectors to meet the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards are different.
My Lords, can the Minister clarify for me, and no doubt others, to what extent the independent trustees of pension funds, when giving a mandate to investment managers, are able to forbid that manager to invest in certain areas, whether it be private equi

I thank the Minister very much. I appreciate her response, but I am afraid that I am somewhat disappointed by it. It demonstrates a lack of understanding of the farming industry and the rural economy.
