Ministers are under fire for allegedly reneging on their commitment to support English farmers after pledging to allocate £2.4 billion annually to agriculture by the conclusion of this parliamentary term.

This financial commitment was intended to replace the European Union's common agricultural policy, which compensated farmers based on the hectares of land under their management.
