Question

Will the Minister provide an update on future funding for the position of the All-Wales Wildlife and Rural Crime Coordinator?

Declared interest

Answer

Answered by Minister for Climate Change

Welsh Ministers initially agreed to fund a twelve month trial of an all Wales Wildlife and Rural Crime Coordinator, and Rob Taylor was appointed to this role.

Since being in post, he has made excellent progress in leading and improving the coordination and effectiveness of a multi-agency response to combat wildlife and rural crime in Wales. However, there is still more to be done. I have therefore agreed to provide further funding towards this post for another 3 years
