I have many specific questions, and I know I will be caught for time. Regarding goodwill payments to farmers, is that part of the TII's remit? The Minister signed off last year on farmers receiving so much money in goodwill payments over and above the price of the land. That has nothing to do with the TII. Where farmers do not go through the compulsory purchase order process but go along with the TII and sell the land, there are goodwill payments to reward them for doing that. How extensive is that practice?
