May I also thank the Cabinet Secretary for her statement and note, with thanks to everyone, that the industry has been successful during the past year and that progress is still being made towards the target in the food and drink plan?

I would like to start by asking the Cabinet Secretary where is she now, in considering exiting the European Union, on branding Welsh foods, specifically from the point of view of the source of food, animal welfare and environmental standards. The statement mentioned PGI specifically and we know how successful that has been in developing the export of lamb since that status was granted. I’m sure she would agree that it’s important to retain that status, but it’s also important that Welsh food is recognised as Welsh food as we exit the European Union, rather than it being draped in the union jack or marked as from somewhere ambiguous called Britain. Retaining that Welsh brand is very important, so what specifically is she doing in that regard? Specifically, although she says she’s having negotiations with the supermarkets, is she discussing this very point with the supermarkets, that, post Brexit, Welsh branding will not just remain but that supermarkets should embrace that and promote it?

Although there are successes such as the events referred to by the Cabinet Secretary, I am one of those people who regrets the fact that we have lost the specific True Taste awards or something similar—awards that recognised Welsh food and celebrated it and was a means of spreading best practice. I’d also ask whether the Cabinet Secretary has any intention of reconsidering that aspect of marketing and branding, again in the face of the challenges currently facing us.

The Cabinet Secretary specifically mentioned Project Helix in the statement. I understand that this is a scheme for innovation, and I would appreciate it if you could give us an example of the kind of event or the kind of innovation that's being promoted and supported by that particular programme. It's over £20 million, and I'd like to see how that's being spent.

If I could just bring a few issues together, there's additional funding for Hybu Cig Cymru, and there's the fact that the final budget will include a fund to respond to Brexit. I just wanted to understand whether the Cabinet Secretary has sufficient resources now to deal with Brexit and to deal with the challenges emerging from that and to help businesses, specifically those businesses that are exporting, to deal with interest rates, which are changeable, and possibilities in terms of problems in leaving the customs union. Is she confident that sufficient resources have been allocated in that regard? What specifically is she asking Hybu Cig Cymru to do now? Hybu Cig Cymru does have very important functions in promoting the whole food sector, including lamb from the Welsh uplands and the smaller lambs particularly.

I just want to finish with a question on school milk, because the Cabinet Secretary will have seen that some are questioning the continuation of the school milk scheme. It's a good way of getting schoolchildren familiar with the best of Welsh produce, and it's healthy and nutritious too. It's been supported by European funding and Welsh Government funding, but as we exit the European Union we need to ask where that support will come from in the future and whether the Government will continue to support the school milk programme. I hope that she will be able to give us an assurance that that will remain for the future, whatever decisions are taken as we leave the European Union.
