I thank Dafydd Elis-Thomas for, again, his positive comments and questions. Yes, I’m very happy to look at the border. As I said, we need to look at the governance, if we’re changing the regions from what we have now—for a variety of reasons, I think, we need to do that.

I think, on the issue you raised about the evidence and the science that we get in, along with the responses to the consultation, I think it’s really important, as much as possible, we make that available. As I said, the chief veterinary officer is there to advise and help Members. TB is a very complex disease, and I think everyone in the Chamber shares the ambition to see a TB-free Wales.
