With the welcome new focus on defence, George Freeman calls on the Government to reconsider the future of Swanton Morley barracks, currently scheduled for closure in 2031.

George Freeman criticises the Government’s rush to net zero with subsidies for solar farms which is undermining food security, food affordability, and UK & Norfolk leadership in sustainable & regenerative agricultural productivity.

George Freeman tells MPs that UK agriculture is at a critical moment. With the world needing to double food production in 25 years using the same land but less water and energy, the UK—home to 10 of the top 30 research institutes—could lead this effort. However, he warns that current policies could abruptly shrink the UK market for these innovations, threatening an emerging industry poised to become a global leader.
