Well done on being appointed the Atlantic grey seal champion. You should have a little competition with your colleague Darren Millar how many times you can say what you're champion for in the Chamber. [Laughter.] I think it's been very lovely to see how many seal pups we have seen around our coast over the summer. Going back to your specific question about the conversations that the Minister for Climate Change and I have around our policies, it is really important that we make sure that, for instance, all our designated features within our marine protected areas are assessed against any potential harms from activities such as those you referred to.
