I will return to the original point that I discussed with the Minister, which is agricultural emissions being correlated with the total volume of meat and dairy output. The Minister argues that we can at least maintain the same size of meat and dairy output, or even increase that, yet still achieve our targets. Let us hope that he is right if that is the chosen policy. Let us say that he is wrong and nowhere near achieving the 25% reduction target in 2026, 2027 and 2028. At what point will the Minister look at that again and say we need to reduce total meat and dairy?
