The Secretaries of State for Scotland and for Wales and the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food have today laid before the House a report setting out the changes proposed; subject to approval by Parliament and the European Commission, most changes will take effect from next April. A consultation document will be issued shortly.
