I apologise for interrupting, but I wish to make a point of clarification. The Minister made the key point that the GLAS plan identifies what can be achieved. I am concerned that if a farmer submits an application on 15 May which contains the achievable figure instead of the current figure, he or she will be liable for penalties. If the farmer signs up to a GLAS plan for the land, will he or she be allowed to include the figure he or she thinks will be achievable on this basic payment? That could have a significant impact on the farmer.
