Chamber and committees

I would like to continue on the topic of the fragmentation of research. Would I be correct in taking from your report that aquaculture research is somewhat isolated from other research areas?

So, the fragmentation does not prevent co-operation and working with other areas of research where there is crossover. How significant is that?

Do you think that you are keeping up with demand?

You touched on the fact that this is a highly manual process. Why is that? Is it simply because you have not been able to invest in the technology?

Timewise, how do you compare to other regulatory bodies for achieving that?

You have mentioned previously about the differences between rural properties and urban properties. Is there a different pattern of what tenants in rural properties already do in respect of redecoration?

This may have come out in previous evidence sessions—I am just sitting in on this one—what figure are we talking about for unclaimed tenancy deposits? Do you have any knowledge of that?

This is a very simple question. The bill has provisions to give tenants greater rights to personalise their homes. What are your views on that?

I understand that there is reference to minor structural changes. What does that imply?

Thank you. I do not propose to ask every witness, but anybody who wishes to have input on this particular point, should indicate that.
