Well, yes. Obviously, a Bill would allow the wider animal welfare considerations to be addressed, whereas a section 12 has to be specifically targeted at a particular animal welfare issue. Is she, at least, able to give us where her thinking is on that at the moment? Because what the concern, I think, around the Chamber would be that is that we don't want to let something that we can do now be put off because we have a wider agenda that needs to be delivered over a longer period of time.
