Christine Gwyther
Christine Gwyther (born in Pembroke Dock in 1959) was a Labour politician in the National Assembly for Wales for the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency. She failed to regain her seat in the 2007 Welsh Assembly Elections, and lost to the Conservative candidate, Angela Burns.

Background
Former Pembrokeshire County Council Development Officer.

Political career
During the first term of the Assembly, Gwyther was the Minister of Agriculture under the leadership of Alun Michael. She is a vegetarian and as a result was criticised by farmers and opposition parties, as Wales and the UK were suffering from a beef crisis. She was censured over her failure to deliver on a promised calf-processing scheme.

In 2000, on the eve of the Royal Welsh Show, she was dismissed from her post as Welsh agriculture minister by First Minister, Rhodri Morgan.
