§ Mr. Ron DaviesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what percentage of farms currently covered by environmentally sensitive area agreements in Wales are subject to whole farm agreements.
§ Mr. David HuntFarmers who choose to join the Lleyn peninsula environmentally sensitive area scheme must enter all their land into the scheme; all farms in the scheme are therefore covered by whole farm agreements. In the Cambrian mountains ESA, it is only that area of the farm which is classed as semi-natural rough grazing which has to be entered and, optionally, woodland and hay meadows. In consequence, none of the ESA agreements in the Cambrian mountains scheme cover the whole farm.
