On a related point, is there an issue with regard to the armchair farmer, if one could put it as such? I refer to a guy who may have rented his land for a number of years and is continuing to do so while continuing to draw his funding as well. It is probably a similar point to the one Deputy Fitzmaurice is making. Will that farmer continue to get favourable treatment under whatever proposal is coming down the road?
