Agricultural Policy

No, I will make some progress. Many points were covered, but the last point raised in our agricultural report was on bank lending. Through the Project Merlin agreement, the banks lent 10% more in the first three quarters of 2011 than in the same period in 2010; the latest figures are due to be published on 13 February, and I hope that we will see that the trend has continued. Access to finance for the agricultural sector still remains a key focus for our Government.
