Commenting on the cancelation of the 2021 Royal Welsh Show Welsh Liberal Democrat Agriculture spokesperson William Powell said:
“This will come as a grievous blow to many in the farming community across Wales.
“The Royal Welsh Show is an opportunity to showcase the best of Welsh farming to the world. Many businesses rely on the show for a significant part of their income and to lose this two years in a row will add yet more pressure to those who are already struggling.
“The Welsh Government must step up to the plate and ensure that firms who are already struggling due to Covid are appropriately helped following today’s news.”
