I think the noble Lord has answered another question that I had in mind, which was to my noble friend Lord Ullswater. If global warming alters the vegetation of a common—let us take the common of the noble Lord, Lord Williams of Elvel—so that from an agricultural point of view it would be untenable to continue to graze his 41 ewes or his six horses because the vegetation could not take it, presumably, the authorities can say to the noble Lord, Lord Williams, ““Sorry, it is five horses or 30 ewes from now on””, and he has to accept that. That is what the noble Lord implied; that only a percentage of what the commoner had could be used.
