§ Mr. Wigleyasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will now grant full recognition to the Farmers' Union of Wales for Government purposes, as representing, together with the NFU, farming interests in Wales.
§ Mr. John MorrisMy right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture and I are currently considering the union's request. There are, however, many factors to be taken into account, and I cannot yet say when a decision will be reached. Meanwhile, there are long-standing informal arrangements whereby the union is able to make its views known.
