Will the hon. Gentleman tell me how it is that those who represent private enterprise always say that that enterprise could not be run efficiently by the nation and yet they suggest that, when we are in the Deepest Crisis, the most efficient way to run industry is not by private enterprise but by Government control?

With agriculture now plunged into the Deepest Crisis for a decade this is no time even to talk of impositions which will be disruptive and disastrous.

All sectors of the farming industry are in the Deepest Crisis in living memory, as I shall shortly try to illustrate.

Organic farming may have some environmental advantages and be a great talking point for Labour luvvies round Islington dinner tables, but it is not the answer to the Deepest Crisis that has hit British farming for 60 years.

It is right to say that farming and the countryside are going through the Deepest Crisis that they have been through for years--my noble friend Lord Inglewood said "for a century", and I think he is right.

However, there is a core of people, often those whose lives are the most chaotic or who are in Deepest Crisis and trauma for a host of reasons, whom we are looking after least well.
