If we are going to wipe the problem out, we must adopt a fresh, almost ruthless approach. I congratulate Ben Gill on the courageous way in which he has led the NFU during this difficult period. He has had to stand up to complaints in Cumbria from local NFU representatives, who are under pressure from local communities. I refer to the future. It will be as a result of that inquiry that the truth will unfold.
Ministers are certainly responsible for what has happened.
I understand that, but I am worried about the fact that a lot of the information was not getting through to them. We expect our civil servants to reveal to Ministers in times of crisis precisely what is happening on the ground. In this case, it did not happen.
