Question
Will the Government be reviewing the permitted burning season of grassland following the wildfires across Wales?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Rural Resilience and Sustainability (Llyr Gruffydd)
In response to the wildfires experienced across Wales this year, the First Minister is convening a Wildfire Summit on 22 October, bringing together key partners and stakeholders to consider how Wales can strengthen its approach to wildfire prevention, preparedness and response.
This will be an opportunity to discuss all the measures currently in place to minimise the risk of wildfires including the burning season and help identify what we can do to help reduce the risk.
