Well, Llywydd, the Welsh Government's record of payment of BPS is, as the leader of the opposition will know, the best in the United Kingdom and has been for many years, and certainly a great deal better than it is across our border. We continue to have discussions every week with the farming unions here in Wales, and with other farming interests. My colleague Lesley Griffiths will, of course, be looking to see whether there are actions that we can take that respond to the pressures that the sector is under, and I will make sure that the specific suggestion that the leader of the opposition has made is part of those discussions.
