The Deputy will be aware that I welcomed the recent publication of this report which sets out positive recommendations for the future development of the sheep sector. It is now very important that all the stakeholders work together to ensure that the required decisions and actions are taken to guarantee the future viability of the sector.

I am now in the process of setting up an agreed implementation structure in association with the main stakeholders involved and expect to be in a position to make an announcement on it in the near future.
