Part of 2. Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd – in the Senedd at 3:02 pm on 13 October 2021.
We no longer have bespoke designated nitrate vulnerable zones in Wales, as you're aware, and on 27 January this year, I introduced the Water Resources (Control of Agricultural Pollution)(Wales) Regulations 2021, and as you know, those initial measures came into force on 1 April. Those regulations revoked and replaced the Nitrate Pollution Prevention (Wales) Regulations 2013, which obviously previously designated NVZs, and as you know, at the moment, permission has been granted for those regulations to be reviewed by the courts.
