The Agriculture Bill will ensure that after we leave the EU, and the Common Agricultural Policy, we have an effective system in place to support UK farmers and protect our natural environment. We will consult widely with the devolved administrations on the appropriate extent of any legislation. Ministers have met representatives from FWU and NFU Wales on a number of occasions.
