There was an underspend in the previous year as well. As the Minister said, the money carried forward. An issue I have discussed with the Minister on numerous occasions is compensation for the victims and owners of plantations with ash dieback. With this kind of an underspend, do we have scope to address that and see can we do? The Minister spoke a minute ago about restoring confidence. It would be one major step in restoring confidence in the forestry sector if we could agree what compensation would be available in respect of ash dieback.
