I thank Mr. Heslin. I turn quickly to Mr. Savage to get a better sense of how this works. We have learned a lot already in the session. What responsibility does his company have when things go wrong? If I were to purchase an animal off his site and it then transpired that rather than the 700 bad actors he identified last year there were actually 701, and let us say one got through the net and I experienced a difficulty because of that, where does Mr. Savage see his responsibility in that regard? What obligation is there on him to recompense me for any losses or injuries?
