PRAISE FROM THE PM

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has praised Harper Adams University in the House of Commons. Asked by Mark Pritchard, MP for the Wrekin, if he agreed “that agri-tech is a vital part of the UK economy, and in particular the excellent work of the crop and research centre at Harper Adams University in Shropshire,” Sunak warmly endorsed the centre, calling it “a fantastic example of the type of innovation and skills provision that we need in our agri-tech sector.”

Mr Pritchard invited the Secretary of State to visit Harper Adams, “and in particular the women leading science and maths, and indeed, leading the world.”
