Oxfordshire farmer Mr Franklin said the news caused "shock, massive worry and stress" in the farming community."If they start going... how are we going to be producing food in the future to come?""I think they've taken food production and food security for granted and think that food just appears out of nowhere."

Mr Hayter said their message to the government was "there's possibly more chance it could affect young people's health as well."Shepherdess Milly Collins said a million pounds "does sound like loads" but "it doesn't give you much""A million to a lot of people does sound like loads, but it's really not when you come down to buildings and land, it doesn't give you much.
