Livestock: Wales

Asked by Mims DaviesConservativeWales OfficeTabled Answered 14 July 2026UIN 16942

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what recent discussions she has had with stakeholders on Welsh livestock numbers.

Answered by Anna McMorrin

I have regular discussions with the farming unions on a range of matters. While agriculture is devolved to the Welsh Government, the farming unions are a key partner for the Wales Office and both the Secretary of State and I are committed to working with them and maintaining an active dialogue.

In April of this year, I met with the National Farmers Union (NFU) Cymru and I joined the then Farming Minister in a meeting with the Farmers Union of Wales (FUW). Separately, I met with the Country Land and Business Association (CLA) in May.
