Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. The Minister talks about action; well, the farming community, Minister, want action from you. Now, the only area that I can agree that you spoke to this afternoon, Minister—and Jenny Rathbone—was that we all have a role in improving water quality. That's correct—all of us do, businesses and farmers included, and farmers accept that role. But any regulations have to be evidence based, proportionate and targeted, and the regulations that you have proposed and will be bringing forward next week are none of those things. Minister, it seems that you will bring forward these regulations next week to introduce a Wales-wide NVZ, and, in doing so, you have broken your commitment to Welsh farmers and this Senedd that you would not bring forward these regulations during the course of that pandemic, and I'm sure the First Minister and the health Minister will confirm to you that we are still in the middle of this pandemic.

Now, I heard the contributions from Jenny Rathbone. I'm astonished. She talks about exaggeration. She talks about not being able to introduce zones. That's why they're called NVZs. This is done all over Europe. I can't believe that contribution from Jenny Rathbone. 

In regard to other Members, Janet Finch-Saunders and Llyr and others pointed out the devastating impact on farmers and the many businesses that will rely upon those farming businesses, the complex record keeping of regulations that will be subject to cross-compliance, inspection and the penalty, leaving little option but to resort to costly consultations that farming businesses simply cannot afford. As Janet Finch-Saunders and others pointed out, your own impact assessments talk about the upfront costs of £360 million to the industry, and then there's the evidence that shows that many catchments across Wales have incurred zero incidents of agricultural pollution over the last 10 years, and Llyr, of course, points correctly as well to the NRW evidence, which backs that up.

Over the past 48 hours, I've had hundreds of e-mails from farmers across my own constituency in Montgomeryshire, urging me to vote against the regulations next week. Minister, you've heard from opposition parties, you've heard from the farming unions, you've heard from the farming community, and your response is, 'I'm going to ignore and carry on', which is so disappointing. I met with—
