I think Hunt could get himself into a right pickle on this one. He either ring-fences the £x billion for farmers/fishermen in which case there will be questions asked as per yours - especially as the numbers employed in those primary sectors are relatively small. Or he 'opens it up' to other impacted sectors in which case
a) it would be an admin nightmare (where do you draw the line?)
b) the figures would be horrendous - or so negligible that there would be no mitigation
c) it raises expectations that would be impossible to meet
d) it could raise issues with regards to unfair state subsidies with...……..the WTO
This is making stuff up on the back of a fag packet IMHO.
Why are we sending any money to fisherman/farmers who voted for Brexit?
They voted for it so they should deal with it.
