Welsh Conservatives Debate - Sustainable Farming Scheme
Amendment 1, tabled in the name of Jane Hutt
What this vote was about
Labour's amendment, from Jane Hutt: replace the call for a final vote with a welcome for the scheme and a note that the Government will bring forward a Statutory Instrument.
The Welsh Conservatives (Paul Davies) asked the Welsh Government to hold a final, binding Senedd vote on its Sustainable Farming Scheme before it starts. Welsh Labour (Jane Hutt) proposed welcoming the scheme and noting a Statutory Instrument. The Senedd rejected both the amendment and the motion, so nothing was agreed.
