Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 6:16 pm on 8 February 2022.
Well, absolutely, and we've talked in this Chamber a lot with regard to Glastir woodland creation funds going across the border to other countries that are buying up—other companies that are buying up— prime Welsh agricultural land for tree afforestation being agreeable and acceptable to this Government in receiving grant funding through Glastir woodland. So, there is finance available.
However, I will make way, as I'm conscious of the time. We cannot ignore the financial implications of instructing both local authorities and agencies to implement and enforce Welsh Government policy. If the Welsh Government is serious about delivering these policies, they must wake up to the reality of having to enforce them, the bottom line of which is cost. Diolch yn fawr.
