Part of 2. Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd – in the Senedd at 3:15 pm on 28 September 2022.
Thank you. Well, the First Minister issued a written statement on 1 August, and that really set out a detailed programme of work and actions agreed at the summit he held at the Royal Welsh Show in July to tackle phosphorus pollution in Wales's special areas of conservation rivers. There is no single measure, I think, that will solve this crisis. There’s no quick fix and I think what the First Minister wanted to portray from that summit was that we need a team Wales approach, where we have the Government, the regulators and all relevant sectors working together over the immediate and medium term to realise those long-term results we want to see to improve the water quality in our rivers.
