Dan Boyle (Green Party)

I welcome this important debate. It addresses the concern which exists but it also needs to consider the wider picture. Having this debate will help to open many of those avenues. I am a member of the minority party in the Government with a particular view on sustainability and food production, and the focus in both the Government amendment and the original proposal is too narrow. They do not consider the longer-term view or look at sustainability in its wider aspects.
