Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Paul Flynn (Labour). It was answered on Wednesday, 10 October 2007 on behalf of the Wales Office.


““One Wales”” Document

Question
Are not the Welsh Assembly Government to be congratulated on how they dealt with the recent farming difficulties—particularly the single farm payment and the recent health crises? They have been cautious, but practical and swift, in reducing the harm that was likely to be caused to the farmers. Can we now expect a hallelujah chorus of gratitude from the National Farmers Union to the ““One Wales”” Government?
Answer

If there were to be such a chorus, it would be the first. However, I agree with my hon. Friend’s comments on how the Welsh Assembly Government have handled the situation.
