Food (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 7
And just coming back to Sarah's point around the Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Bill and the Agriculture (Wales) Bill, which is at Stage 2 at the moment, is there anything that's coming up in this that might not be for the community food…

Food (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 7

Food (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 7
On that point, Edel, in terms of the breadth of evidence that's coming in and the committee sessions around this, what is, from an official's perspective, something that may be a light-bulb moment that's come off in terms of, 'Ah that's a good piece of work'…

Food (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 7
In terms of all the work that Peter and the stakeholders have put together in this, are you looking at that evidence and saying, ‘Oh, actually, that’s something that we could take forward’? Are there any examples?

Food (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 7
Just on the point about the egg producers and water pollution, I think we’ve had evidence before from NRW to say that there isn’t a direct correlation between the two. So, is that a disagreement between yourself and NRW on that assessment?

Food (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 7
Okay. And then going back to the Chair’s initial questioning around 76 per cent of respondents to the draft being in favour of legislation, and then your answer to that is around perception rather than what is true at the time in terms of Welsh Government…

Food (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 7
Because there were a few witnesses who gave evidence who would have liked it to have been a bit more specific in certain areas, then on the understanding that Peter wasn’t going to be the Minister enacting this, they understood, ‘Ah, hence the vagueness’…

Food (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 7
Thank you, Chair. Minister, good morning. The Bill affords some level of flexibility to you as a Welsh Minister and your successor, whoever that may be, at whatever time, through regulation-making powers, for example to amend the description of secondary food…

Questions to the First Minister
I'm pleased to hear that the Welsh Government is committed to reducing the use of harmful pesticides, particularly when a threat is posed to human health, but science, technology and innovation can be the answer here, and that's why I was left frustrated that…
