I thank the witnesses for taking the time to be here for this discussion. "Water quality" is the big term we are using here. Deputy Aird asked a question about cleaning rivers and I do not think he got a reply to it. The witnesses might give him a reply on that.

I asked about this previously. My belief is more stakeholders are responsible for what is happening with water quality than agriculture. Is that the officials' view? Is it their view that what is going on is totally down to farming and agriculture?
