I welcome Lord Deben and Mr. Stark and I thank them for their frank views on the matters in question. Lord Deben mentioned his agricultural background. In Ireland, and across the world, producers are looking for more for their product while the consumer is looking for that product at a lower price in the supermarkets. To achieve what we want in the area of climate change, additional costs will be involved. How do we square the circle in this regard?
