Pig and Poultry EU referendum debate

The forthcoming referendum on the United Kingdom’s membership of the European Union was the subject of intense argument at this year’s Pig and Poultry Fair, with farming figures from both sides of the divide taking part in a staged debate.

Sir Peter Kendall and James Hook of P D Hook spoke in favour of EU membership, whilst free range egg producer and UKIP MEP Stuart Agnew outlined the benefits he felt would result from voting for independence. He was joined by Berkshire arable farmer Colin Rayner.

Following the debate, Sir Peter and Stuart Agnew spoke to FarmingUK TV.
