I'm grateful to note that the Minister has tabled amendments 35 and 36 on the topic of changing the definition of agriculture, particularly in respect of the need for a superaffirmative procedure. Members will be delighted to hear that this is the last time…

Group 11: Wildlife—use of snares (Amendments 44, 45, 46, 43)
Diolch, Llywydd. I'm very grateful to all Members who've contributed to the debate, and this is a debate that, as the Minister referenced, and Vikki Howells referenced, is one that we had at Stage 2. I'd like to think that the debate was conducted in a…

Group 11: Wildlife—use of snares (Amendments 44, 45, 46, 43)
Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd. I hope the goodwill from the previous set of amendments carries through to group 11 here, and I would like to move and speak to all these amendments within this group. Rather than speak to each one individually, I'll seek to provide…

Diolch yn fawr iawn, Llywydd. I'm grateful to the Minister for her response and to Jane Dodds for her support. And can I also put on record my thanks to George Dunn, on behalf of the Tenant Farmers Association, for his work in drafting and working with me and…

Diolch, Llywydd. I'm grateful to Mabon ap Gwynfor for speaking in support of this amendment. I think the last 24 months, as we've both discussed here this evening, have given a prime example of why this specific support is necessary—exceptional market…

Group 6: Multi-annual Support Plans (Amendment 42)
Once again, this is an amendment very similar to one of mine, brought forward at Stage 2, and I'm delighted that Mabon has brought it forward today. He's eloquently explained why the need for multi-annual support plans is absolutely necessary, and I do wish…

Group 5: Sustainable Land Management Reporting (Amendments 40, 41)
I'm grateful to both Plaid Cymru and the Welsh Government for tabling amendments 40 and 41 through their co-operation agreement. Indeed, I had very similar amendments at Stage 2, so I'm delighted once again that these have been picked up, because I think it's…

Group 4: Provision of support for farmers (Amendments 4, 52, 53, 54, 38, 55)
I would like to begin by speaking to amendment 4, tabled under the Minister's name. Once again, this is a welcome measure that has been outlined and that seeks to specifically link the duties of the Welsh Minister to objectives of agriculture and ancillary…

Group 3: Definitions of agriculture and ancillary activities (Amendments 2, 3, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75)
I begin by welcoming amendments 2 and 3, put forward in the name of the Minister. As the Minister has referenced, these amendments are somewhat procedural and, therefore, we will be supporting them. But, with regard to amendments 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72…

Group 2: Equal Status of the Objectives (Amendment 51)
Diolch, Llywydd. I'm grateful for the Minister's explanation as to why the Government won't be supporting this amendment. Indeed, it's very similar to what she provided at the Economy, Trade and Rural Affairs Committee, when she said, and I quote: 'SLM…

Group 2: Equal Status of the Objectives (Amendment 51)

Group 1: The Sustainable Land Management Objectives (Amendments 48, 49, 50, 39)
Thank you. I'm willing to sit down with you to discuss that further. Because, as Darren has just chuntered from the left of me, a single ant nest would have thousands of ants in it. But I'm willing to sit down with you on that point. But, absolutely, we have…

Group 1: The Sustainable Land Management Objectives (Amendments 48, 49, 50, 39)
Absolutely, and that detail is really imperative. But underpinning that is the farmers' economic viability. If farmers are no longer farming the land, these schemes won't be enacted, the environment will not be looked after by the custodians of the land, and…
