Minutes:
The
Committee reiterated its support for the petition. In light of the fact that
the Welsh Government is seeking powers through the UK Environment Bill which would
enable it to require that surplus food is redistributed, and the fact that that
Bill is currently progressing through the UK Parliament, the Committee agreed
there was nothing further it could do on the issue at this time. The Committee
closed the petition and thanked the petitioner.
