When will the Minister publish the action plan and strategy for ash dieback? It is now seven months since the independent review was published. Farmers affected by ash dieback in particular, of whom I have met many, are on their knees. I have never met a group of farmers so down, depressed and worried, yet the action plan is nowhere to be seen. Every reply I get states that it will be in the near future. Farmers cannot wait. Will the Minister please give us an update on when we will see that action plan?
