“We also held a meeting with both Meirion Dwyfor Assembly member Dafydd Elis Thomas and MP Liz Saville Roberts. The discussion centred around the possible timetable for leaving the European Union, consequences for family farms and the rural economy. Many questions were raised regarding the future legislative framework, farm support and trade negotiations and members were encouraged to respond to the on-line Brexit questionnaire on the FUW’s website.”
