Proceeding contribution from Lord Williams of Elvel (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 9 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Commons Bill [HL].
Commons Bill [HL]
The problem is that on Gilwern Hill farmers have a right to take bracken out for the sheep for the winter. When the sheep go indoors into the barns, you see tractors coming across even now, apart from when it rains. So I am all in favour of some idea of what that might mean and what the commons association might do, but bracken has played a very important part in upland farming in Wales.
