There are three parts to the Briefing: 1) News from the Imperial Capital (Westminster) 2) Summing up in the Senedd (Assembly) 3) News from the European Parliament If you have any feedback let us know by emailing [email protected]. Summing up in the Senedd By our Assembly Brexit Spokesman Steffan Lewis AM and the Assembly Team Last weekend, Andrew RT Davies, the leader of the Conservatives in Wales, claimed that powers over agriculture should be returned to Westminster when the UK leaves the EU because farmers ‘do not trust’ the Welsh Government. Agricultural policy is currently devolved and the Welsh Government will gain the power to review and amend over 200 pieces of EU regulation that underpin Welsh environmental law after Brexit. Simon Thomas AM, Plaid Cymru rural affairs spokesperson, slammed Andrew RT Davies’s comments, saying in fact that ‘the Tories simply cannot be trusted to defend rural Wales’. He said, “the UK Government has completely failed to offer any security to farmers whose livelihoods are on the line. With this attitude being adopted by the Westminster government, it is absurd and irresponsible for the Leader of the Conservatives in Wales to claim that farming subsidies would be better administered from London.” Steffan Lewis has argued that greater cooperation between Ireland and Wales will be necessary to help us deal with the post-Brexit context. A ‘Celtic Sea Alliance’ should be established between the two nations, and especially between the western regions of Wales and the eastern regions of Ireland.

  • SW1A 0AA 11 March 2021 Rt Hon Mark
    HOUSE OF COMMONS LONDON SW1A 0AA 11 March 2021 Rt Hon Mark Drakeford MS First Minister Welsh Government 5th Floor Tŷ Hywel Cardiff Bay CF99 1NA Sent by email to [email protected] Dear First Minister We are writing to you on behalf of the Welsh farming community to voice our serious concerns at the outcome of the recent Senedd vote on annulling The Water Resources (Control of Agricultural Pollution) (Wales) Regulations 2021. You and 29 other Members voted against annulment. Members of both the FUW and NFU Cymru have written to us to say that, in classifying the whole of Wales as a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone, the Welsh Government has put their livelihoods at risk. The huge upfront investment required to comply with the regulations will make their businesses unviable and uncompetitive, causing massive damage to the sector. In fact, we are aware that the Regulations are already having a detrimental impact on the mental health of many in agriculture. Undoubtedly, this should come as no surprise to you when considering the warning that this might happen in your own Explanatory Memorandum. However, what is alarming is that your Welsh Government have pursued the NVZ regardless of the concerns raised about farmers’ health and wellbeing. Alongside agriculture, there could also be a potentially negative impact on the environment. Suckler cow herds have been declining in Wales. These herds provide a very important contribution to biodiversity, managing some of our most important habitats. Some farmers are already warning us that they are now looking to give up keeping cattle.

    This is the seventh edition of the Brexit Briefing, we hope you enjoy. Much more information about all of these issues can be found on the Brexit Section of our website. There are three parts to the Briefing: 1) Summing up in the Senedd (Assembly) 2) News from the Imperial Capital (Westminster) 3) From the European Parliament If you have any feedback let us know by emailing [email protected]. Summing up in the Senedd By our Assembly Brexit Spokesman Steffan Lewis AM and the Assembly Team This week the leader of Plaid Cymru, Leanne Wood, and First Minister Carwyn Jones launched a joint White Paper setting out Wales’ position for the negotiations for withdrawing from the EU. The White Paper emphasised the importance of continuing participation in the single market when we leave the EU in order to protect the Welsh economy from the damage and uncertainty that losing the ability to freely trade with our closest neighbours would cause. Leanne Wood set out her reasons for joining with the Welsh Government to write the paper here. She wrote, ‘Plaid Cymru has been given an opportunity to influence and shape the Welsh position on Brexit. Had we not taken this opportunity, our nation's voice would have been weakened.’ The White Paper marks a shift in Welsh Government policy. In September, in what was described as ‘the most shocking event since devolution’ by Adam Price AM, Welsh Labour joined with the Tories and UKIP to vote against continuing single market participation. The White Paper was widely welcomed, including by the First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon, who called it a ‘serious contribution to the Brexit debate’.

Having secured recurrent funding for a Wales Gender Identity Clinic, Plaid Cymru will work to improve the provision and ensure timely access to its services and support. I support the reform of the Gender Recognition Act to introduce a streamlined, de-medicalised process based on self-declaration and in line with international best practice. We will seek the devolution of powers necessary to introduce this change and will uphold trans people's right to continue to access services and facilities in accordance with their gender identity. (on follow up) As far as trans rights are concerned, I think it's about acceptance. Transwomen are women if that is their choice and Tony Thomas preferred identity. For many the transition follows years of unimaginable trauma and torment.

In January 2009, the Local Government Minister, Dr Brian Gibbons asked this Commission to review the electoral arrangements in each principal local authority in Wales. Dr Gibbons said: “Conducting regular reviews of the electoral arrangements in each Council in Wales is part of the Commission’s remit. The aim is to try and restore a fairly even spread of councillors across the local population. It is not about local government reorganisation. Since the last reviews were conducted new communities have been created in some areas and there have been shifts in population in others. This means that in some areas there is now an imbalance in the number of electors that councillors represent.
