That this House regrets the delay in informing the National Assembly of Wales about the release of genetically-modified oil seed rape seed; believes this shows contempt for a body established by this House to deliver environmental protection in Wales; and calls for the National Assembly to be considered a full partner in all United Kingdon and European discussions on genetically-modified agriculture.
That this House notes with extreme concern the continuing crisis faced by Scottish agriculture, caused by factors including the strength of the pound, lack of a level regulatory playing field within Europe and falling farm incomes; welcomes the Petition for Action organised by the National Farmers' Union of Scotland; and calls on the Government to recognise the need for further assistance for Scotland's farmers and growers.
