No, I am saying that if I went into the green low-carbon agri-environment scheme, GLAS, in 2016 and planted, if I was using that ground then I paid the whole thing back. In fairness, we all highlighted that at committee for the new environmental schemes and, indeed, the new Common Agricultural Policy, CAP. What is the story on that? If I have my farm in the REAP then decide I am going to plant five or ten acres down the road, am I going to be paying back as part of that scheme? That is all I want to know.
