I have a question relating to what you said and to a paragraph from your opening statement in regard to young farmers stamp duty relief. It is due to expire on 31 December 2021. You gave different figures on the stamp duty relief which are interesting. Is there an issue with the ceiling that exists at present in respect of the availability of stamp duty relief? Is the ceiling high enough that it is not causing an issue? Obviously, I will be lobbying for the stamp duty relief to be rolled over again for another three years because it is a very important incentive for young farmers to get land transferred into their names. In representing young farmers, what do you believe is the position with stamp duty relief and are there any innovations or improvements you would like to see in the relief?
