Well, you've certainly made my case about the need for parliamentary scrutiny, if nothing else. And I don't disagree with you, as it happens, Darren. It's right and proper that government is about choosing and making choices, and the point that I make is that the UK Government has chosen the money-makers in the City of London over the farmers of Wales, and that is exactly the point I'm making. And, in doing so, they've spoken more about themselves than the values of people, whether those people and those farmers are in Wales, England, Scotland or Northern Ireland. And for that reason, this Parliament, and as people who seek to represent the people of Wales, we should say 'no'.
