Question
What financial support will be made available to farmers who face additional testing or holding costs due to Welsh-only bluetongue disease movement restrictions?
Answer
Answered by Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
I held a Bluetongue roundtable meeting with senior representatives of the livestock and veterinary sectors on 5 June. I listened to their views and will consider them carefully before deciding on a proportionate policy for future Bluetongue control. I will announce my decision on 12 June.
