Agriculture: Wales
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what discussions she has had with the Welsh Government on support for the farming industry in Wales.
Answered by Dame Nia Griffith
The Government is steadfastly committed to the farming sector. We protected the farm budget at its current level and allocated £337m to the Welsh Government at the Autumn Budget.
The Welsh Government in their budget have used this to maintain the Basic Payment Scheme at its current level for another year, providing much needed support for farmers across Wales….a budget as he knows that his party supported, whilst Tory and Plaid Cymru Senedd members tried to block it.
