I have a quick question on deceased dogs and the importance of the issue of registering them. We heard from the Department last week that almost 600,000 dogs have been microchipped since 2017, but we do not know if there are 600,000 dogs in the country or more or less. How important is it for that to be clarified, and how do the witnesses foresee that happening? I have another question on surgical artificial insemination and transcervical artificial insemination. It is my understanding that such procedures are banned in the UK. Should we be going down the road of banning those two procedures?
