Good afternoon again, Minister. Three very quick questions from me: we welcome this Bill and I look forward to working across parties in order to see this Bill go through. The first question is really around food production. Is it now defined as a public good for farmers, and will they receive that basic payment?

The second issue is with regard to the 10 per cent tree cover. Would you consider including hedgerows within that 10 per cent tree cover? I know it’s been a particular issue.

And finally, nitrate vulnerable zones: a really important issue and one that I know is on the lips of almost every farmer that I speak to. Could you explain how water pollution regulations will sit in relation to the agriculture Bill as set out today?

Finally, I do thank you for your statement. I look forward to further opportunities to work with you and across the Siambr as well to create the best system for our farmers, which rewards farmers for public goods and ensures an economically viable future for this sector. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
