Chamber and committees

Before we leave this topic, could you clarify the duration of a land management plan?

And the cost?

Are you suggesting we buy his book, Mr Russell?

I am going to ask some questions about the pre-notification and registration requirements in the bill. Do you think that they would be complex and difficult to navigate or easy to navigate? I am interested in hearing your views on that.

It would surely seem to be logical to try to shape the bill with that information.

Okay. That slightly concerns me. With my background in agricultural tenancy law, I struggled to understand all of the bill. Maybe when we delve into it, we will find out a bit more.

Is concentration of power in Forestry and Land Scotland also seen as a negative?

You had a question.

Was concentration of power ever seen as a good thing, or was it seen as a bad thing across the whole of Scotland?

I want to drill down into something that Sam Martin said. You said that sea lice do not kill fish, but 15 minutes later you said that if they are not treated sea lice allow in other diseases that could kill the fish. It is a bit like saying stage 1 cancer does not kill you, but the follow-on cancers will. Is that not right? Sea lice do kill fish.
