of subjects prior to Spending Review 2020, including future agriculture funding.</p><p>
</p><p>This Government stood on a clear manifesto commitment to guarantee the current
annual budget to farmers in every year of this Parliament. We fulfilled this commitment
for 2021-22 in the Spending Review. We have provided new Exchequer funding on top

continues to go to Welsh farmers this year. We remain committed to our manifesto pledge
for the remainder of this Parliament.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
