I thank Mr. Cardiff for his presentation. I must confess it is the first time I have had to look at the report, so perhaps he can bear with me. I am an urban Deputy, as he can probably tell from my accent. I mention that because there are urban myths about farmers and fraudulent activities. There are classic myths of ear tags going missing or being transferred. The horror of all horrors was the illegal activities of farmers who brought foot and mouth into this country by purchasing cattle outside the jurisdiction.
