I would like to go revisit a couple of issues with Ms McPhillips. There are producer groups already operating in the sheep sector and they are working well. There appears to be a resistance to the producer groups among the factories on the beef side. Is it correct that approximately 70% or more of the beef we export goes to the UK for mince?
