Welsh Government given power to set farmers' wages
The Supreme Court has ruled that the Welsh Government will be able to set minimum wages and benefits for agriculture workers. The Agricultural Bill will now become law.
Decision to be made on Welsh farm workers' wages
A decision will be made by the Supreme Court later today on whether to give the Welsh Government the power to set wages for farm workers.
A Bill had originally been passed by the Assembly last year, allowing the Welsh Government to set minimum wages and benefits for agriculture workers.
However, Royal Assent of the Bill has been delayed after the Attorney General referred it to the Supreme Court, arguing that it was a law regarding employment issues and not agriculture.
