Agricultural Policy

I intend to keep my replies to a minimum, because it is important for all Members to have a say. We all know that large numbers of people in Wales live within easy commuting distance of big urban conurbations. It is almost too easy to focus on such communities, but about 90% of our land is non-urban, and one person in three in Wales lives in a rural area. With the responsibility for issues affecting such communities split between Cardiff Bay and Westminster, it is important that we understand their concerns, and that Members of Parliament have a voice.
