Access to healthy, nutritious and affordable food: evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice, Trefnydd and Chief Whip
It's a big task, but I have to say that the local food partnerships have only been going since April last year, and I think we've seen quite a lot of evidence that there have been a lot of local initiatives that are beginning to provide ways in which people…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning: Local Growth Fund Investment Plan for Wales
