I thank Deputy Stanley for his positive comments on septic tanks and electric vehicles. The septic tank issue will be on many people's minds in the coming months. On the second issue, it is not the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government but the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Marine who will be responsible. The regulations cover trees that are more than ten years old. It is generally unlawful to uproot any tree more than ten years old.
