Lovely. Do colleagues from local government want to come in on these points, then I'll bring Laura in?

Thank you, David. I've got a couple of questions, and I think Niamh's got a quick question and Laura, and, between the two, I'll bring local government colleagues in and then go to Laura. Niamh.

Lovely. Thank you. We'll move off this bit for a second to give people a bit of a break on the environmental stuff and we'll come back to it towards the end of the session. I think David's got some questions he'd like to ask about responder co-ordination.

Really quickly, Niamh, I know you've got some questions, but I'm conscious that colleagues online haven't had a chance to respond to anything that's been said yet. Is there anything you'd like to add? If not, I'll go back to Niamh.

I know Niamh has some questions on the environmental part, but I'll get Laura in and then I'll come back to you, Niamh, to round this bit off. Is that okay?

I'm just going to use the Chair's prerogative quickly, Laura, because, on the point of bracken, which was raised, as someone who's spent a lifetime, probably, gathering sheep off a hill that's full of bracken—. You mentioned about cattle, and I don't…

Lovely. When bracken was mentioned, Andrew and I both jumped up in our seats, because we're probably thinking the same thing, but I'll let Andrew come in first, and then I'll come to Laura.

Can I just say that we'll come on to land management later? I know it's a very important point you raised, John, but I think other Members want to come in on that. I think we'll lead up to that, if that's okay, and we can come back to that. Because I know…
