I propose to take Questions Nos. 186, 188 and 191 together.

The matters raised are under consideration in the context of the AgriTaxation Review which I announced in my Budget 2014 speech. The review is be completed shortly and its report is expected to be published around Budget Day. It would not be appropriate for me to comment on the Deputy's questions in advance of the completion of the review.
