As the Deputy probably knows, we have just conducted a regulatory review with Philip Lee whose draft report is now in front of members of the forestry policy group. Unfortunately, there is not a silver bullet to get us out of this but I think there is some good stuff in that report. We are going to work with the members of the forestry policy group and Project Woodland to tease out the potential there to make the system more efficient and make the licensing process more appropriate.

It will be another couple of weeks before we have had that engagement from all of the members. We will feed back into the committee when we have a bit more of an idea of what we can run with.
