Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Amgylchedd a Materion Gwledig(Lesley Griffiths): The UK Government is planning to introduce one ‘animal activities’ licence which will cover four animal activities; dog breeding, dog/ cat boarding, selling pets and hiring out horses for riding.

Lesley Griffiths: I will be looking to publish the research commissioned by the Wales Animal Health and Welfare Framework Group along with recommendations for tackling sheep scab in Wales by the end of March 2017.  This is later than originally planned as, following initial consideration of the survey results, the Wales Animal Health and Welfare Group requested additional spatial analysis of the survey data to be carried out. I understand the Group have now received this information and are working to complete their analysis and agree their recommendations on the way forward.

Lesley Griffiths:  In the last two years, Wales has enjoyed record levels of inward investment. In 2014-15, Wales attracted the highest number of inward investment projects over the past 30 years. This was closely followed by our second most successful year in 2015-16. In the last two years, investment by foreign owned companies in the food and drink sector has created and safeguarded more than 1,000 jobs in Wales.

To support this further, Welsh Government launched a new trade and investment campaign in November 2016, with the introduction of a new website www.tradeandinvest.wales, alongside a suite of new materials, including those focussed specifically on the food and drink sector. This campaign has appeared in the UK national media, as well as using paid search and social media to promote Wales as a business destination. We have also seen an 83% growth in our twitter following @InvestWales.

Lesley Griffiths: Bovine Viral Diarrhoea (BVD) is a disease which is endemic in Great Britain.  There is no legislation in place requiring livestock keepers to notify suspicion of BVD.  The Welsh Government website contains guidance to inform the livestock industry on a number of animal diseases, which are not designated as “notifiable”, for example, Schmallenberg virus. Non-notifiable animal diseases do not require Government intervention for their control. BVD is an economic disease, and it is in the interest of industry to take effective action to control it, to ensure the welfare of their animals and protect their business. 

Paul Davies (Preseli Sir Benfro): Beth yw safbwynt Llywodraeth Cymru o ran llunio Sefydliad Cynhyrchwyr Llaeth i gefnogi'r sector llaeth yng Nghymru? (WAQ72069)

Lesley Griffiths: The Supply Chain Efficiency Scheme in the previous RDP funded a report which considered the feasibility of forming a Dairy Producer Organisations (DPOs) in Wales. The report highlighted that a significant barrier to establishing a DPO is the high number of Welsh dairy farmers who are members of farmer co-operatives (for example, First Milk, South Caernarfon Creameries, Arla). Dairy farmers supplying a farmer co-op are not permitted to join a DPO. Therefore while I am supportive of the formation of Dairy Producer Organisations (DPOs) in Wales I recognise it is ultimately for individual dairy farmers to decide if this is the best way forward for their businesses.

I have, however, also made available funding through the Welsh Government Rural Communities - Rural Development Programme  to provide information to Welsh dairy farmers considering the formation of a DPO. An Agrisgôp group has already begun the work of considering a Welsh DPO. Farming Connect also held a “DPO Summit” on 14 November 2016 which brought together those Welsh dairy farmers and those involved in the wider dairy sector who were interested in considering a DPO.

Lesley Griffiths: In 2014 the Welsh Government published a consultation on 'Improving the availability of allotments and community gardens'. It was clear from the responses received that there was a lack of useful guidance available on managing existing sites and support for developing new sites.

In 2015 the Federation of City Farms and Community Gardens was contracted by the Welsh Government to draft Guidance, which was then published in March 2016 and is available on the Welsh Government's website.

'Welsh Government Guidance for traditional allotments and community led gardening projects' has been developed specifically for Wales and is aimed at Local Authorities, landowners, growers and schools.  It provides comprehensive advice on issues relating to formal allotments whilst providing help and encouragement for less traditional forms of community gardening, including advice for public and private landowners on how to make land available for growing, how to find appropriate funding and other support for existing and new sites, and advice on structures and other planning concerns.
