We discussed this matter previously. I welcome the witnesses. Do they agree that there is a new awareness among the public – communities, local authorities, Tidy Towns groups and environmental groups – about trying to avoid using most of these sprays, particularly glyphosate sprays, given the serious questions around them? This has been my experience. Is it that of the witnesses as well?
