We have a system in place. I asked the question of whether horses could be moved. When Dr. Hillyer has gone out to a stud farm, I am aware from information received that both the Department and Dr. Hillyer or the authorised officers have been held up before they have got into certain places. I am saying to Dr. Hillyer now that she has admitted there is no system to know.

If, for example, I have cattle and a veterinary inspector comes to my house, he or she will tell me any animal I have. If I shift something, it is known. I have to put in an application to shift it. My understanding at the moment in this sector is that it is a full paperwork system. I could say that five horses have gone down the road to Johnny or Mickey whoever and Dr. Hillyer cannot say "Boo" to them. Is that correct?
