Thanks, Buffy. So, the regulatory baseline for agriculture, which is what we refer to as NMS, already exists, and what that does is establish the minimum requirements every farmer must comply with and the associated criminal offences for any serious…

As you probably know, Vikki, it's the universal layer that we want to be ready for day one, and every farmer, if they want to be part of that, can come in from day one. There's a lot more work to be done on the collaborative and optional layers, going…

So, I'm expecting quite a lot in response to the consultation on that particular point. So, we will have to look at it, obviously.

I don't disagree with that. I think the working group certainly discussed that there would be instances where a rights holder couldn't access the scheme, so I'm very conscious of that. What we really need to do is consider what level of participation is…

Thank you. I am well aware of the number of common associations you've got in your constituency. I know you meet with them regularly. We did convene a sustainable farming scheme common land working group—there was NFU, FUW, the National Sheep Association's…

We have to, absolutely. Nothing is set in stone. So, the 10 per cent isn't set in stone. The 10 per cent is there for all the reasons I've described, but, obviously, when we look at the consultation responses, we will have to look at that target.

Well, I can't pre-empt the consultation, but, as I say, we'll see what comes out of the consultation.

That definitely was before your time, Richard. So, Glyn—. I didn't think we used the term 'technical advisory group' back then, when Glyn brought a group of experts together, because I met them in the August, I think, but I don't think we referred to it as a…

Sorry, Chair, this is in relation to agricultural pollution regulations. So, we will be opening a new window very soon.

Of which, I think we've spent about £3.4 million. We will be opening another window for this funding.

It wasn't new money, because I think we'd been—. I think, earlier on you'd said to me, 'Was it new money?' as well. But that's what I meant.

Well, as I say, there are no red lines because, you know, it's a meaningful consultation. And I think, you know, there are some common misconceptions, and I think they've been repeated and repeated. You know, 'I'm on this side', repeat—. And it's the same…

I'm sure the NFU were the same. As I said, the FUW was the one I had the conversation with. We try to communicate the best we can with our farmers. We have newsletters that we send—I think it's three times a year that Gwlad goes out—and we have, as you know…

Yes, absolutely. As I've said, nothing is set in stone in the consultation. I certainly don't want to pre-empt the consultation. Has there been a failure to communicate that? Well, we've tried really hard to communicate to our farmers. As I said, I can't meet…

I don't think it's true to say that the proposals will take out 20 per cent of productive land from food production. I really don't think that is the case. Certainly, the team, I presume, have been looking at that, before we even brought the final…

Because it is a really important target. I'm not on about the 10 per cent, I'm on about the 43,000 hectares and the new woodland. As I say, I want farmers to be absolutely at the fore of getting the benefits. If you look at the way our land is managed in…
