Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs – in the Senedd at 2:18 pm on 14 October 2020.
Thank you, Minister. I'm very glad to hear that very positive news, but you will be aware that people are concerned that deposits of diesel further up the estuary may work their way down towards the cockle beds. Can you give us assurance today that you will continue to monitor what is happening with regard to the ongoing pollution risk there to ensure that this small but very important local industry, which I know you know is unique—the hand-picked cockles, not dredged in the environmentally damaging way—to ensure that this really important industry remains sustainable into the future?
