The new UK Agriculture Secretary, Margaret Beckett, is determined to reform the Common Agricultural Policy, according to her aides. In a speech at the UK Labour Party Conference on 2 October 2001, Mrs Beckett said that British farmers would have no future unless they listened to the needs of consumers and the market.
