I seem to be trusting my memory too much so my pen is out. The next environmental scheme will kick off in January 2023 and run to the end of 2027. We are still in the consultation period in that respect. The national plan outlines the bones of the environmental scheme and it will be submitted to the European Commission by the end of this year. The infrastructure for running that scheme will be put in place over the course of next year, with the plan to have it started from January 2023. In the meantime, we have the green, low-carbon, agri-environment scheme, GLAS, continuing this year. In the budget just passed for next year, we have funding to run GLAS and the results-based environment agri pilot programme, REAP, again next year for all existing participants.
