I thank both speakers for their informative contributions. I will go to the Dogs Trust representatives on the issue of databases, which we have heard some evidence on heretofore. Could they recap the number of databases operating in the country? I accept that they operate to varying standards. I assume that the utopian solution would be a statutory database with any subsidiary databases aligned with the same reporting structures. Is that correct?
