Agriculture: Public Expenditure
Asked by: Ben Lake (Plaid Cymru - Ceredigion Preseli) Monday 24th February 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she has had recent discussions with her counterpart in the Welsh Government on the application of the Barnett formula to agriculture funding in Wales from the 2025-26 financial year. Answered by Darren Jones - Chief Secretary to the Treasury I regularly engage with Welsh Government ministerial colleagues. Engagement takes place at the Finance: Interministerial Standing Committee (which is next due to meet on the 27th of February) and bilaterally, as well as through regular correspondence, on issues relating to devolved government funding including the application of the Barnett formula.
Agriculture and fisheries funding from 2024-25 has been added to the devolved governments’ baseline funding from 2025-26 which means the funding amount will be maintained in cash terms. Funding is no longer ringfenced and the devolved governments can choose how to spend this in devolved areas. In future, the Barnett formula will apply in the normal way to agriculture and fisheries funding provided to the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in England. |

Israel: Gaza
Asked by: Ben Lake (Plaid Cymru - Ceredigion Preseli) Thursday 6th March 2025 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions he has had with his Israeli counterpart on upholding the human rights of healthcare workers from Gaza detained in Israel. Answered by Hamish Falconer - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) The UK has consistently raised concerns about the impact of this conflict on Gaza's healthcare systems and medical staff, including reiterating the requirement for all parties to uphold International Humanitarian Law. We are also deeply concerned by reports of the mistreatment of Palestinian detainees in Israel. I raised our concerns about healthcare workers in Gaza with Israel and urged Israel to clarify the reasons for detention of medical staff from Gaza who are detained in Israel, including cases such as Dr Hussam Abu Safiya. We have consistently called on Israel to allow the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) unfettered and immediate access to detention facilities and will continue to do so. |

Gaza: Prisoners
Asked by: Ben Lake (Plaid Cymru - Ceredigion Preseli) Thursday 6th March 2025 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what representations he has made to his Israeli counterpart on allowing independent monitors to access detention centres housing prisoners from Gaza. Answered by Hamish Falconer - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) We are deeply concerned by reports of the mistreatment of detainees. The UK has raised this with the Israeli Government as a priority and continues to reiterate calls for Israel to allow the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) unfettered and immediate access to detention facilities. We believe it is critical that the ICRC is given regular access to detainees to deliver on their independent visiting role, as enshrined within the 1949 Geneva Conventions. |

Hussam Abu Safiya
Asked by: Ben Lake (Plaid Cymru - Ceredigion Preseli) Thursday 6th March 2025 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of the (a) arrest and (b) detention of Dr Hussam Abu Safiya in Israel. Answered by Hamish Falconer - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) We are concerned by the reports of the detention of Dr Hussam Abu Safiya and others. I have raised this case with both Israel's Ambassador to the UK, and Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Haskel. Israel must allow medical staff to carry out their work unimpeded, and to travel around Gaza as needed. |

Asylum: Syria
Asked by: Ben Lake (Plaid Cymru - Ceredigion Preseli) Monday 3rd March 2025 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, upon what evidential basis she will deem it sufficient to lift the temporary pause on the processing of Syrian asylum seeker claims. Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Home Office) Following the fall of the Assad regime, the Home Office has withdrawn the Country Policy Information Notes and Guidance relating to Syria and has temporarily paused all asylum interviews and decisions for Syrian nationals. However, we continue to register new claims from Syrians in the UK who wish to claim asylum and when there is a clear basis upon which to make decisions on Syrian claims, we will resume the processing of them. |

Farming in Wales in 2025: Challenges and Opportunities Welsh Affairs Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 14 Apr 2025) Wales has a long tradition of farming, and the sector is integral to the Welsh economy. In 2022, agriculture, fishing and forestry accounted for 1.8% of total employment in Wales and over 90% of the land area of Wales is utilised for farming. Our predecessor Committee reported that in 2020, the gross output of agriculture in Wales was worth £1.7 billion to the Welsh economy, with agriculture comprising 1% of the total Gross Value Added for Wales. Agriculture is devolved to the Welsh Government, and the items related to agriculture that are reserved to the UK Government are:
With these reserved competencies in mind, the Committee is inviting written submissions by 14 April 2025. These should focus on: 1.

What is the potential impact of the UK Government’s proposed inheritance tax reforms on farms in Wales? 3. What is the potential impact of the UK Government’s decision to replace the ring-fenced funding for agriculture with ‘Barnettised’ agricultural funding for farms in Wales? 4. How has the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union affected farms in Wales? 5. How has the export market for Welsh agricultural goods evolved since the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union? a. Do farms in Wales currently have access to the skilled and seasonal labour they need? b. WHat could the UK Government's proposed 'UK-EU reset' achieve for the farming sector in Wales? |
