Agricultural Policy

I do not think that there is a groceries adjudicator; I do not think I said that. I think it was a slip of the tongue by my hon. Friend the Member for Cardiff North. I have read the background, overview and explanatory notes to the draft Groceries Code Adjudicator Bill. The commission had produced a supermarket code of practice, but it became clear that more could be done. It is this Government who are taking action on the issue, as I think everyone would agree. A wide range of issues that impact on the agricultural sector involve both the Government here and the Welsh Government. I am committed to working with the Welsh Government to ensure that our agricultural industry and rural communities have the right conditions for growth and share in the prosperity that we must create for the whole of Wales. I shall be interested to listen to the contributions of all hon. Members to the debate; I hope that the contributions will inform my ministerial colleagues, me and the wider community on how we can improve the situation for our agricultural community.
