PART 2 Food and agricultural marketsCHAPTER 1Food securityDuty to report to Parliament on UK food security19 1The Secretary of State must, on or before the relevant day and at least once every three years thereafter, prepare and lay before Parliament a report containing an analysis of statistical data relating to food security in the United Kingdom.2The data analysed in a report under this section may include (among other things) data about the following matters—aglobal food availability;bsupply sources for food (including the range of supply sources and the availability to the public of food from domestic and other sources);cthe resilience of the supply chain for food (including in response to disruptions in, or significant price increases for, the supply of energy);dhousehold expenditure on food (including in comparison to expenditure on other items);efood safety and consumer confidence in food.3In this section “relevant day” means the last day before 25 December 2021 which is a sitting day for both Houses of Parliament.CHAPTER 2Intervention in agricultural marketsDeclaration relating to exceptional market conditions201The Secretary of State may make and publish a declaration in accordance with this section if the Secretary of State considers that there are exceptional market conditions which justify making the powers conferred by or referred to in section 21 available for use.2In this Part “exceptional market conditions” exist where—athere is a severe disturbance in agricultural markets or a serious threat of a severe disturbance in agricultural markets, andbthe disturbance or threatened disturbance has, or is likely to have, a significant adverse effect on agricultural producers in England in terms of the prices achievable for one or more agricultural products.3A declaration must—astate that the Secretary of State considers that there are exceptional market conditions which justify making the declaration,bdescribe the exceptional market conditions in question, in particular by specifying—ithe disturbance or threatened disturbance in agricultural markets,iiany agricultural product which is or is likely to be affected by the disturbance or threatened disturbance, andiiithe grounds for considering that the conditions in subsection (2)(a) and (b) are met in relation to that disturbance or threatened disturbance,cdescribe the grounds for considering that the exceptional market conditions justify making the powers conferred by or referred to in section 21 available for use, anddstate that the powers conferred by or referred to in section 21 are (unless the declaration is revoked sooner) available for use in relation to the exceptional market conditions until such day as the declaration may specify.4A declaration has effect from when it is published until the end of the day specified under subsection (3)(d) (which may not be later than the last day of the period of three months beginning with the day on which it is published).5The Secretary of State may revoke a declaration by making and publishing a further declaration stating that the declaration is revoked.6If at any time during the period of seven days ending with the day specified under subsection (3)(d) the Secretary of State considers that—athere continue to be exceptional market conditions, andbthey justify extending the availability of the powers conferred by or referred to in section 21,the Secretary of State may make and publish a further declaration extending the effect of the original declaration for such period (not exceeding three months) as the further declaration may specify.7The fact that a declaration under this section has expired or been revoked does not prevent the Secretary of State from making and publishing another declaration relating in whole or part to the same exceptional market conditions.8A copy of any declaration made and published under this section must be laid before Parliament by the Secretary of State as soon as practicable after it is published.9In this section and section 21 a reference to agricultural markets, agricultural producers or agricultural products includes horticultural markets, horticultural producers or horticultural products (as the case may be).Exceptional market conditions: powers available to Secretary of State211This section applies during the period for which a declaration under section 20 has effect.2The Secretary of State may give, or agree to give, financial assistance to agricultural producers in England whose incomes are being, or are likely to be, adversely affected by the exceptional market conditions described in the declaration.3The Secretary of State may also make such use as the Secretary of State considers appropriate of any available powers under assimilated direct legislation which provides for the operation of public intervention and aid for private storage mechanisms, in response to a declaration under section 20.4Financial assistance under subsection (2) may be given by way of grant, loan or guarantee or in any other form.5The financial assistance may be given subject to such conditions as the Secretary of State considers appropriate.6The conditions may (among other things) include provision under which the financial assistance is to be repaid or otherwise made good (with or without interest).7Nothing in subsection (1) or (2) prevents the Secretary of State from giving, or agreeing to give, financial assistance under subsection (2)—aafter the end of the period for which the declaration has effect, butbin response to an application duly made during that period.Modification of certain <Substitution ChangeId="key-94d2cfa836cc255e2dc106bd508394e9-1707494125662"

may by regulations modify assimilated direct legislation relating to public market intervention or aid for private storage, for the purpose of altering the operation of provisions of such legislation so far as they have effect in relation to England in connection with exceptional market conditions which are the subject of a declaration under section 20.2The Secretary of State may by regulations modify assimilated direct legislation relating to public market intervention or aid for private storage, for either or both of the following purposes—asecuring that provisions of such legislation cease to have effect in relation to England, otherwise than in connection with exceptional market conditions which are the subject of a declaration under section 20;baltering the operation of provisions of such legislation so far as they have effect in relation to England, otherwise than in connection with such market conditions (pending the achievement of the purpose in paragraph (a) in relation to those provisions).3The power conferred by subsection (1) includes power to make modifications that apply only in relation to the exceptional market conditions which are the subject of a particular declaration specified in the regulations.4The powers conferred by subsections (1) and (2) include power to change the agricultural products that are eligible for public market intervention or aid for private storage.5Regulations under this section are subject to negative resolution procedure (unless section 50(5) applies).6In this section “assimilated direct legislation relating to

pig and sheep carcasses and as regards the reporting of market prices of certain categories of carcasses and live animals.7Until paragraph 1 of Schedule 7 (amendment of Articles 219, 220, 221 and 222 of the CMO Regulation) is in force, any reference in this section to exceptional market conditions which are the subject of a declaration under section 20 includes a reference to circumstances which are the subject of measures under any of those Articles.
