I have a couple of short questions, one of which repeats other questions that have been asked. We are dealing with three Government Departments and 30-odd local authorities. I am concerned about the efficacy of that. There is a compelling case that the all-encompassing role of animal welfare should be transferred to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine because it would be a natural progression from the work of that Department. Do our guests have a view on that?
