THE island’s agricultural sector was strongly represented by Farmers’ Union of Wales officials during the recent Anglesey Day, hosted by Anglesey MP Albert Owen at Westminster.

The event has become an annual tradition at Westminster and the Union was once again proud to fly the flag for Welsh agriculture and demonstrating its commitment of working for rural Wales.

Following the event, FUW President Glyn Roberts, said: “It has been absolute pleasure to once again promote and highlight the quality of Anglesey produce here at Westminster.

“It is always a great opportunity to take our message to London and the event gave us the chance to meet with many MPs from all the political parties, not least of all leader of the Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn.

“We reminded Mr Corbyn that the FUW is the only union recognised by the UK government to exclusively speak on behalf of Welsh farmers and that the union has done so at the highest level – at the National Assembly, Whitehall and Brussels.

“In addition we were pleased to reinforce the message that the FUW was the first farming union to pledge its support for the ‘Stronger In’ campaign.

“We further discussed entry level accommodation, a hot topic on Anglesey and indeed throughout the UK.”
