Mr. Fleming might be better placed to answer it. The UK is cutting its forestry targets and funding by 50%. The quantity of nursery trees that are available will flood the market out of the UK. Northern Ireland is in the UK and, as we know, this beetle can fly. It will put awful pressure on our nurseries. When we were not ticking over in Ireland in the past, nurseries were able to sell some of the nursery trees to Scotland and different places. If there is a 50% abundance in the UK, we are in trouble.
