I will make one final point, although I was not political point-scoring at all. The sheik that Mr. Staunton mentioned would have been entitled to more money in the past. The reason somebody who owned extensive amounts of stud land is getting that money is that historically, and still to this day, they have a large holding and a lot of cattle. They are farming productively.
