Turning to the Minister of State, we talk about different types of broadleaf trees and different types of planting. Has the Minister of State met representatives of the nurseries and has she been made aware that, if a great deal of planting comes in, there may be problems in perhaps having enough stock in place? Obviously, it is not possible to just click a button and trees grow. It takes three to four years. Is the Minister of State aware of any problem in this regard that might occur?
