The real Crisis in Rural Wales is the cheque-book invasion - by people who are selling out, particularly in south-east England, and buying up housing stock, as a result of which the prices are shooting up.

The Secretary of State is right to point to initiatives in urban Wales, where he is helping in many ways, but the Crisis in Rural Wales is extreme and needs further attention.

Unfortunately, we have seen a deepening Crisis in Rural Wales, and I am afraid that I am not scaremongering.

In summary, let me say there is a large contrast between what the Government spend on their agencies, publicity and services, which are not being delivered, and the devastating Crisis in Rural Wales.
