It is relevant to the disposal of environmental assets. I have to insist on that point.

What bit of our maritime area, extending to the exclusive economic zone, EEZ, and including the foreshore and so on, is not State-owned? I would have thought it is all State-owned, unless we have privatised parts of our maritime area and seabed. I did not think we had but maybe it is already happening. What part of the maritime area, which is between seven and ten times the size of the land mass of this country, is not State-owned? Does this relate to every bit of the maritime area?
