Diolch, Gweinidog, and I hope that you do recover soon.

On 29 January, Minette Batters, the National Farmers Union president said, and I quote:

'I feared farmers would be used as a pawn in trade deals—and that's what happened.'

My clear question to those Conservatives who've spoken is this: do they think she is not representing farmers' views if they continue to say that these trade deals are positive moves?

We have also talked about ports in Wales, and at least 1,000 jobs in Holyhead and around 4,000 in Pembrokeshire are connected with the ports. So, families may be directly affected by the issues around the decline in shipping from Ireland. The red tape has led to numerous hauliers deciding to bypass the UK and Wales altogether, with direct ferry routes between France and Ireland increasing in 2021. In 2020, there were fewer than 12 direct routes, and it is now 44, as of October 2021. They're bypassing Wales altogether, so the movements in the Irish sea are high, but Wales is being bypassed.

Minister, on all of these issues affecting Welsh lives—and I can hear the passion in the Senedd—be they farmers or people working in ports, what would you say to all of us across the Senedd, whatever party we're in, to ensure and work hard to see that our rural and coastal communities remain healthy and vibrant? Diolch yn fawr iawn.
