LORD HASKINS, rural adviser to the British government - with Tim Sebastian
Should farmers in Britain be subsidised?  With the European Union making promises about reforming its Common Agricultural Policy and developing nations desperate for fairer trading conditions, how long can the British government justify giving handouts to farmers?  When he was appointed, Lord Haskins upset agricultural workers by telling them they should be more enterprising, with less of a reliance on state subsidies.  Tim Sebastian asks him about the role British farmers should play in Europe and whether they have a long-term future.
