So, I am in support of it because I think it's very important how we do manage animal health and welfare from the point of view of looking at how they're transported. So, I am in support of that and we're looking at that very closely, obviously.

Yes, which is a 10-year plan that finishes in 2024, and I think at the moment, we're looking to procure an outside organisation to evaluate that for us. I think that will be done at the end of 2024, probably going into 2025. I would imagine, that, yes, it…

Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidog: Y Gweinidog Materion Gwledig a Gogledd Cymru, a’r Trefnydd
Yes, okay. So, there are two different things. So, the animal welfare plan is the plan that I brought forward in November 2021, which is a five-year plan and it's based on the manifesto that we were elected on, and that's to bring in all the programme for…

So, obviously, I wasn't at that technical briefing, but I can't imagine that's what Dr Irvine did say. I'm sure—. Were you talking about the framework?

Craffu Cyffredinol ar Waith y Gweinidog: Y Gweinidog Materion Gwledig a Gogledd Cymru, a’r Trefnydd
Yes, thank you. Well, I did have the summit. It was really beneficial, I think, to bring everybody together, because, again, sometimes people can perhaps work in silos, and I wanted to make it very much about the levers that we have as a Government and what…

It's a real disappointment to me that the Bill did fall. You could see it coming, unfortunately, because we'd done a great deal of work, particularly officials with their counterparts in DEFRA, but also at ministerial level we'd done a huge amount of work…

No. Not from the evidence and advice I've seen and the discussions I've had.

Well, that's absolutely what we're doing. I absolutely accept that partnership working is really important; nobody can eradicate TB on their own—no Government, no vet, no farmer. We really need to work together, and so that sort of triad of farmer, Government…

The evidence and data that we have at the moment are that cattle movements account for at least three quarters of new herd breakdowns on Anglesey. As you know, we've had a project on Holy Island, where we do know that there is a badger population. We've just…

So he's settling in very well. As you say, his expertise is very much needed and welcome. Obviously, he attends the national preparedness events, and there was one in London back in September that I'm sure he told you about at the technical briefing he did…

We'll begin that review in the new year. Initially it will be engagement with Natural Resources Wales and with stakeholders. I would imagine at some point there will be a consultation, but I wouldn't think that would be the initial response—it will be…

The assessment’s been done on—. Was it four we had? Four or five? I'm trying to think. Officials have had a look at that. Others are coming forward and I understand that they will obviously be assessed as well. I haven't received any advice from officials for…

Well, that's the plan. Obviously, it's a temporary measure for 2024. We'll have to start the review of the regulations. Obviously, we've committed to reviewing the regulations every four years. We'll have to start that, so I suppose that will be taken into…

You'll be aware the regulatory impact assessment was published alongside the regulations, and I think with the enhanced nutrient management approach that we've taken, the impact on the effectiveness of the regulations is likely to be minimal. That's because…

Yes. Let's wait for the guidance, and if people have any concerns, obviously we can answer their questions, but they will have up to 31 March. Farmers will have three months to submit a notification to Natural Resources Wales. So, yes, I'm confident there'll…
