I am glad that the Member mentioned that. I was going to ask for an intervention during Robbie's contribution, but he was very kind to those on the DUP Benches, so I did not ask him for one. I was going to make this point about farmers. Does the Member agree that it is a fact that the largest dairy companies here, which are partnered with very large dairy companies across the water in Britain and across Europe, have very firm targets to reach net zero by 2050? Those targets are driven by consumer demand, so if we were to start to play around with our targets here, we would seriously damage the dairy industry here.
