My question is maybe aimed at Francesco Sindico, because it is possibly more granular. Am I right in thinking that each island has a local steering group that employs a community development officer directly in the local anchor organisation, and that some of the community development officers are young islanders who have been able to return home to work on specific projects? Is that the case?

Thank you.

When did you write to the UK Government?

There is on-going monitoring to make sure that those things—

And you have not had any response.

Right—okay.

Yes. That makes sense.

I was intrigued by some of the conversation between you and Rachael Hamilton. You talked about the potential for a farmer to choose not to isolate infected cattle. As you know, my background is in livestock. I would never dream of allowing infected animals to go back into a herd or flock. How many incidents have you ever had of farmers not isolating animals that they knew to be infected?

Okay. Thank you.

Does that explain the spread?
