May I ask for an oral statement or a debate in Government time on nitrate vulnerable zones? I note that the Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs Lesley Griffiths is answering questions tomorrow and put out a written statement, but the timing of that written statement was such that there is no opportunity for ordinary Members of the Senedd to ask questions at that session tomorrow. The Minister said, back on 8 April last year, that she would bring in regulations only when the crisis comes to an end. Then, on 16 September last year, she said,

'What I have committed to is not bringing them forward whilst we're in the middle of a COVID-19 pandemic',  and then, on 14 October,

'I have committed not to do anything while we are at the height of the pandemic.' 

Is it thus the Welsh Government position that we are past the height of the pandemic and no longer in its middle, and that it will come to an end by 1 April? If so, why are we debating emergency legislation later to potentially delay the election from 6 May? I think the Minister needs to give us an explanation on the matter of what she said before, and also an explanation of why the whole of Wales has been a nitrate vulnerable zone under her regulations, at great cost to farmers, many of whom aren't responsible for these problems and don't farm in areas of Wales where they're widespread. Why can't we have a similar system to that which the UK Government has for England, where areas only become NVZs where the incidence is high or where there is a particular problem?
