The Welsh Government provides funding to all local authorities in Wales and to organisations such as Keep Wales Tidy to improve local environment quality. Our aim is to help empower communities in their local area and to encourage community engagement through education, collaborative working and enforcement programmes.

Agriculture is a vital industry to Wales and a crucial backbone of the Welsh rural economy. The Welsh Government recognises that the future of our environment and the future of agriculture are fully intertwined. We are working in partnership with stakeholders to secure a prosperous, resilient agricultural sector, promoting Wales’s present and future well-being.

Our priority is to improve recycling rates for Wales to become the highest recycling nation in the world. We provide funding, advice and changes in legislation to meet this priority. We are making excellent progress and Wales is first in the UK, second in Europe and third in the world.

Precision agriculture will help the industry modernise, become more competitive and address its climate change and environmental responsibilities. Precision farming should not be considered in isolation but as part of a broader agriculture and land use strategy, post Brexit. Amaeth Cymru is currently developing this important road map for the future.

The Animal Welfare (Breeding of Dogs) (Wales) Regulations 2014 controls the licensing of dog breeding in Wales. The Pet Animals Act 1951 and Pet Animals (Amendment) Act 1983 cover the licensing of pet shops. Local authorities are responsible for the enforcement of these regulations.
The cabinet is the group of twenty or so (and no more than 22) senior government ministers who are responsible for running the departments of state and deciding government policy.
It is chaired by the prime minister.
The cabinet is bound by collective responsibility, which means that all its members must abide by and defend the decisions it takes, despite any private doubts that they might have.
Cabinet ministers are appointed by the prime minister and chosen from MPs or peers of the governing party.
However, during periods of national emergency, or when no single party gains a large enough majority to govern alone, coalition governments have been formed with cabinets containing members from more than one political party.
War cabinets have sometimes been formed with a much smaller membership than the full cabinet.
From time to time the prime minister will reorganise the cabinet in order to bring in new members, or to move existing members around. This reorganisation is known as a cabinet re-shuffle.
The cabinet normally meets once a week in the cabinet room at Downing Street.
As a bill passes through Parliament, MPs and peers may suggest amendments - or changes - which they believe will improve the quality of the legislation.
Many hundreds of amendments are proposed by members to major bills as they pass through committee stage, report stage and third reading in both Houses of Parliament.
In the end only a handful of amendments will be incorporated into any bill.
The Speaker - or the chairman in the case of standing committees - has the power to select which amendments should be debated.
