Good afternoon. The first item of business this afternoon is portfolio questions, and the first portfolio is rural affairs, land reform and islands. I invite members who wish to ask a question to press their request-to-speak button during the relevant question.

I advise members that we are extremely tight for time across the whole of the afternoon. There is quite a bit of interest in all three of the portfolios on which there will be questions. Therefore, the usual plea for brevity in questions and answers has added emphasis this afternoon.
