Janet Finch-Saunders MS – the Shadow Minister for Climate Change, Energy and Rural Affairs – has refuted claims made today (November 25) on the agriculture budget, which have were made after the Comprehensive Spending Review was announced earlier.
Mrs Finch-Saunders said:
“The claims made of a ‘Brexit betrayal’ over the Welsh agriculture budget and supposed cuts are just plain wrong.
“Let me be clear; the UK Government committed to maintain the level of funding to farmers in Wales and between their funding and the tapering off of EU funds this is exactly what they are doing. Anyone that says anything different is spouting nonsense.
“Those who are suggesting that this is not the case must withdraw their inaccurate claims immediately.”
