I thank the Minister of State for her response. I suggest that the timeframes to date have been anything but satisfactory. A review of wool-based products was promised when the programme for Government was being put together, but it took until July 2021 for a tender to be put out in the first place. It was not until December 2021 that it was confirmed that a tender had been awarded and the report was published seven months later. Why has it taken nearly half the Government's term to commission and receive the report?

Has the Minister of State begun any work on the short-term recommendations contained in the report? How does she propose to address the medium and long-term recommendations? Has she set targets for the short, medium and long-term ambitions she feels can be realised?
