I ask the Minister of State about the recent changes that have been announced to the scheme for those affected by trees with ash dieback. I was disappointed to learn from some organisations that there was no consultation with them on what the changes to the scheme would actually look like. That is deeply disappointing and was a mistake. We are now left with a situation whereby there are many people who are very unhappy and deeply frustrated with what has been announced in respect of the scheme. I would appreciate if she would acknowledge and agree to meet them regarding the changes she has made the scheme.
