If either party is unhappy, they could therefore go to the tenant farming commissioner at any stage. Is that not rather like saying, “Don’t go to negotiation”?

It looks like no one has a contrary view to that. Okay. The next questions come from Mark Ruskell.

Rhoda Grant will get her moment now. She has waited very patiently.

Magnus’s hand is up, as is Andy’s. Rhoda, if you do not mind, we will go to Magnus first and then to Andy.

Okay. We come to the deputy convener.

That is hypothetical, of course, because I do not own more than 1,000 hectares of land, and I do not think that I am likely to, as I have a small family farm. Magnus, do you have a view?

I had some niche questions for Andy Wightman on part 2 of the bill but given that we have all agreed where we are at this stage of the bill and what should happen to it, I will end the evidence on that note of consensus.

I thank all the witnesses for their time this morning and for being succinct in some of their answers and not in others, which has given us a fuller understanding.

We are just sorting that out—and I see that Magnus Linklater is now back.

That local place plans are fundamental as far as management plans are concerned. If the community say that they want to build additional houses next to their village, that should be included within the management plan, and perhaps the management plan for what happens upstream, 10 miles away, is not really that relevant.

I ask Magnus Linklater whether he wants to come in on that, because he is the only witness who has not been given that opportunity.
