Billions of farming subsidies could be diverted to NHS after Brexit, says Theresa May adviser

Billions of farming subsidies could be diverted to NHS after Brexit, says Theresa May adviser Some of the billions of pounds handed to farmers every year could be diverted to cash-strapped hospitals after Britain leaves the European Union, Theresa May’s top policy adviser has said.

George Freeman MP, who chairs the Prime Minister’s policy board, said once people realised how much cash was spent on farming subsidies they would want it to be diverted to hospitals, unless ministers made a strong case for how the money was spent. The Daily Telegraph
