Thank you, Michelle. As I have just outlined, there was a lot of interest in the sustainable farming investment scheme. Our ambition is stunted only by our budget, frankly, and I thank farmers for their interest in the scheme. From 2021 to 2026, my Department paid farmers £40·9 million in capital grants under the farm business improvement scheme. A minimum of £4 million in such grants was paid in each of those years.
