My team is engaged in assessing the proposals with a view to me engaging further with farmer representative organisations to discuss them. There is also a land-use review under way, which will be important in informing our approach. My Department and myself are centrally involved in that. The issue is important. The regulation and the proposals are getting significant attention from my staff and it is something that I am also paying close attention to. I will engage closely with farmer representative organisations and with ministerial colleagues.
