Before we conclude, I have two more questions myself. I thought I would not get them by the Chairman, but now I have overcome that problem - I am only joking.

To go back to the very start, what is an animal welfare officer? What qualification does an animal welfare officer have? Is it like in your day-to-day work where you appoint and get training for a health and safety officer? Can it be anyone with training or is there a specification on the amount or the standard of training or the qualification required?
