On your latter point, yes, it will be only the infected badgers and I do think it will be good for the badger population. I think I made that very clear in my statement on bovine TB last week. In relation to the 50 to 60 farms, those are the farms that are in that chronic TB breakdown—some of them for 16 or 17 years—that will have these bespoke plans. So, at the current time, we have about 10 of those bespoke plans that are more or less completed, so they will then be able to start that process and have that veterinary assessment that I referred to in my initial answer. So, this is now ongoing; we are now rolling that out. From 1 October, we’ll be rolling out most of the refreshed eradication programme that we discussed in the Chamber last week.
