Neil was in the House of Commons this week to make a speech on the remaining stages of the Agriculture Bill and push New Clause 2 to a vote. 

As Chair of the EFRA Committee, Neil has been scrutinising the progress of agriculture and trade policy since Brexit. With the support of the cross-party committee, he tabled NC2, which would have ensured 'equivalent' standards of food imports. However, despite 22 Conservative MPs backing the amendment and 15 abstensions, the Agriculture Bill progressed unamended. 

You can read an article published by Neil on why he pushed NC2 here: https://www.conservativehome.com/platform/2020/05/neil-parish-why-my-animal-welfare-amendment-should-be-supported-tomorrow.html .
