Thank you, Mr Deputy President. I am used to the shouting and screaming from the other side. Thankfully, I do not lower myself to that standard. I have my chance to have my say—and I will—and they will have their chance.

We really have to understand what this means. Under the previous policy, it would have been a sin had we not revisited this blanket ban because, regardless of what will be said on that side of the chamber, if there was an outbreak in a country that had BSE then all meat would have to come off the shelf. There is no argument about that; the Hansard will show that.
