Part of 2. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:54 pm on 4 October 2016.
I think it’s possible to do so until 2020. That’s what we’re aiming to do. Beyond that, there is no money at all to pay farming subsidies unless the UK Government gets its act together and tells us exactly what it plans to do. So, yes, we would look to support farming as if we’d still been members of the European Union whilst the funds are available. If there are no funds beyond 2020, it stands to reason that we will not be able to do so.
