Michael Fitzmaurice: When money is given out, are there provisos to make clear that smaller tracks around the country have to be looked after? We saw all of that especially for the smaller racetracks earlier in the year. I know it was not directly in relation to moneys, as that side has television rights and so on. Second, is the testing of horses part of that budget? I presume it is with all the talk about...

Michael Fitzmaurice: Does HSI have governance over them and look at what is going on? It seems that a lot of attempts are made for extraordinary general meetings, EGMs. We had a lot of difficulty under the green, low-carbon, agri-environment, GLAS, for rare breeds in the line of stud books. It was tough going for some farmers. Did the HSI have a look at that? We get a lot of correspondence from people in...

Then, if it was failing, it should...
