Wales delays action on ‘unacceptable’ agricultural pollution

Griffiths announced last week that she will make a decision in January on what form the regulations will take, pending further consultation, but stressed that they “will not be voluntary”. 

She added: “I will be considering advice from officials in January on the introduction of the agriculture regulations following further engagement with the Wales Land Management Forum sub-group.

“I want to explore further if there is a way we can provide farmers with the flexibility to achieve these essential environmental outcomes in a way that is best suited to individual businesses.”
