On fertiliser, the conflict in the Middle East is continuing to impact global fuel and energy prices, including fertiliser prices. We know that there has been a lot of market volatility around fertiliser prices, which have increased by around 30% to 40%. Again, we are working with industry to monitor the situation and see what we can do. At the beginning of the month, we asked farmers and land managers in England to complete a short fertiliser survey so that we can best understand how fuel and energy prices are impacting fertiliser usage. That will help us to build a better picture of what is happening and inform how we shape any future support, if that is deemed necessary.
