Okay, so I can be assured that those ongoing discussions are quite meaningful and we can perhaps get over this problem.

Yes. Right. I chair a virtual phosphate stakeholders group. Now, this group has representatives from planning authorities across Wales, and we know that there are 10,000 new homes being held back because of NRW guidance on phosphates. And, please, I'm not…

Okay. Well, if I can just reiterate my point about the Tan Lan embankment, you have about 15 farmers who are very unhappy, and they really want to work with you. So, I would ask you, Clare, to look at that again, if you would.

Yes, just in terms of the business plan, one of your previous strategic points was to develop NRW into an excellent organisation that supports the communities of Wales. So, what work have you undertaken to improve community involvement over the past year, and…

Thank you, Chairman. Good afternoon. Yesterday, in the cross-party group on biodiversity, the Wales Wildlife Trust outlined concerns that we were spending less than 3 per cent of the flooding budget on natural solutions. Given that this budget provides…
