Thank you. Well, certainly, with avian influenza, we've had a really difficult year. It normally starts about October and by March we see some improvement, but, unfortunately, last week alone I think we had three new cases across the UK. So, we haven't had any break at all. So, you're quite right to raise avian influenza. As I say, we wouldn't do anything without consulting with our stakeholders, and obviously they would form part of the stakeholders, but there's a huge amount of evidence that I've asked officials to look at coming from the other devolved administrations and the UK Government.
