I absolutely agree with the Deputy on integrity and welfare being central to the success of the horse industry, as well as to the greyhound industry. That is something I am clear on at all times. It is a key part of our funding that those standards be met. I take the Deputy’s point on careers in the sector and the importance of supporting people to have as many viable careers as possible. Good progress has been made on supports around education. It is important we continue that.
