I thank the Minister for the reply. He has outlined the problem very well. He has not given much indication in regard to solutions. I wonder what the Minister intends to do to deal with this problem because we have a real problem. I agree with him that we must be sure about standards but has he any proposals, for example, to introduce a scrappage scheme through which money would be made available to take the surplus horses out of the system? Surplus horses, some owned and some not owned, are a major problem around the country.
