Part of 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Transport – in the Senedd at 1:31 pm on 24 October 2018.
Thank you for that response. You will be aware, of course, that the Cabinet Secretary with responsibility for agriculture is currently consulting on a document call 'Brexit and our Land', and there are specific proposals in that document that will have far-reaching implications for the rural economy in Wales. That consultation is happening whilst there hasn't been any kind of modelling or any kind of review of what the impact of proposals will be on jobs in rural areas. So, I just wanted to ask whether your department is looking at what the impact of such steps would be, because the Cabinet Secretary’s going around saying that, whatever emerges from the consultation, she’s going to continue with the proposals.
