My Lords, I thank the right reverend Prelate the Bishop of Hereford for securing this debate and for coming over to Defra to discuss these issues more broadly earlier this week. I am grateful for this opportunity to discuss what is a really important top

The noble Lord mentions the National Audit Office report, which shows that risks to food supplies are becoming much more complex. That is why we are working with farmers, producers and the drinks industry to strengthen our food security. We are looking a

It is also important to point out that in the Land Use Framework, the Government did make a clear long-term commitment to maintain overall food production in England by increasing farm profitability and productivity, and to develop particular sector plan

One of the things the Government are doing is working to promote more sustainable farming, because sustainable farming will turn this around and make the difference. We must support our pollinators by looking at how we farm and what we spray on our farms

My Lords, the United Kingdom Food Security Report of 2024 suggests that rising temperatures will increase the likelihood of extreme weather events, which do of course represent significant risks to UK food security. So we are investing in resilience by s

I am very pleased that the noble Lord thinks the new Secretary of State has made a good start: I agree. It is very encouraging that the new Prime Minister has also been talking about farming, rural businesses and rural communities in a very positive way,

Noble Lords will not be surprised to hear me say that I cannot comment on the negotiations, which are taking place ahead of the summit, but we hope to have a date finalised soon. But I can assure the noble Lord that we understand the importance of this.

As the noble Baroness says, I am extremely supportive of on-farm reservoirs. They are very important, which is why we have announced funding of up to £15 million through Defra to build on-farm reservoirs as part of the drought package. We have also offer

In looking at where staff work, it is important to take into account that many staff work across different briefs in the organisation. While people may not be specifically working on something, there are implications across other parts of the department
My Lords, I thank noble Lords for their contributions to this debate. It is important to clarify what the instrument does and does not do. It does not introduce new policy nor impose any significant new regulatory burdens on businesses. It ensures the ob

I suggest, given the huge challenge the water industry faces and the huge amount of investment that we need, that the Government will be open to looking at any suggestions on how we can plug that gap, as there is so much work to do.
We made some changes very quickly as soon as we came into government with the Water (Special Measures) Act, which I know this House welcomed. As I mentioned, the White Paper has been published. We are working on the Bill that we will be bringing forward,
The noble Lord hits the nail on the head regarding regulation. We know that it is not who owns the water company—whether it is nationalised or private—that decides how effective and efficient it is, and how well it works. It is how it is actually run and
Yes, I can give my noble friend that assurance but, to deliver all this, we need to make sure that we encourage the right kind of investment into the infrastructure. That is one reason why the water industry is going to be included in the National Securi
I have expressed concerns previously in your Lordships’ House about the costs of nationalisation, which is why we are looking at the best way forward when we bring forward the new water legislation. I really look forward to hearing what noble Lords have
I do not think that the Government are in denial. Through the White Paper and the Bill that we will bring forward, the Government will look at the best form of ownership for water companies, but it is also really important that we get the right kind of i
My understanding is that one of the recent announcements we have made is that the water industry will be subject to the National Security and Investment Act, which was brought in in 2021.
Pension funds are an incredibly important part of how our investment works. One of the questions that the noble Lord, Lord Blencathra, raised with me is: what do we consider to be good investment in this country? Actually, good investment is from busines
One of the issues the Government have to face is the increasing threat from cyber attacks. The previous Question was around AI. We have to understand what the potential for such attacks is, and for drone attacks. We are seeing drones being used much more
My noble friend makes an important point. We have to ensure that not just water companies but any industry that is critical to our national infrastructure and our national security is fully accountable. We absolutely must look at that.
My noble friend will be aware that we published the water White Paper earlier this year. We are looking, in that White Paper and in the legislation that we will bring forward, at what ownership looks like and at the best way to secure our water industry
As I just mentioned, the water sector is in the National Security and Investment Act. That is mainly because of the essential services that it provides for public health and the economy. There are 17 existing sectors in that mandatory notification scheme
The Government take all security threats extremely seriously. I am sure the noble Lord will be pleased to hear that the water industry will be included in the National Security and Investment Act’s mandatory notification scheme. That will require water c
