I have a brief supplementary question. I acknowledge the response on the easing of state aid rules and supports for the agrifood business from the European Union. That would be very useful. On costings, of course, Brexit is costing us. To be fair, however, if the Opposition brought forward a Bill, the first thing we would be asked is how much would it cost. As we are going to be asked to support this Bill, it is fair and reasonable to ask how much it will cost and from where the money will come. We can deal with that issue on Second Stage, but it could be dealt with today if the Minister has the figures. That would be useful.
