Minutes:
Joel James MS declared the following relevant interest under Standing Order 17.24A:
He is a Member of the British Association for Shooting and
Conservation.
The Committee considered the petition and, given that the Welsh Government acknowledge the need for a review of legislation around protecting biodiversity but have no plans to do so at this point, Members agreed to thank the petitioner and close the petition.
The Committee also agreed to note Heledd Fychan MS’s view
that given the acknowledgement of the need to review legislation, it should
happen as part of the response to the climate, nature and biodiversity
emergency.
