I have two other brief points. I realise this is not on the accounts but it is keenly relevant to the Department. How many farm deaths are there per annum, whether farmers, farmers' children or other people? I know it is not a normal thing but farm safety is very important. It may not be strictly under the remit of the officials present. I have heard a good deal about cruelty to animals, but I was thinking that I know a lot of children who have fallen off trailers or bales of hay. I am very interested in the people who have died on farms as well.
