The income levy will be dealt with in the context of the Finance Bill. One must look at farming incomes differently. Some are direct payments in the common agricultural form but farms are enterprises. Their output cannot be measured with the income, and the Finance Bill must introduce measures that reflect this. I am sure the income levy will be applied fairly in those circumstances.

There is a suckler commitment in Towards 2016 which will be honoured in full.
