I thank the Minister for coming in to meet us. My first question is on peat extraction. Some of the other members have alluded to it. The resources are not at local authority level. Local authorities do not have the skills or experience to enforce it. Essentially, it may lead to European fines. Has the Minister a plan in place for how we can ensure the local authority collaborates with the EPA to ensure those resources are used on a joint working basis?
