I welcome the Minister of State and apologise for being late for the early part of the meeting. I concur with what has been said regarding the embassies, which are an important asset for the country. The review should consider the area of trade and the most important trading links.

There are too few embassies. Their location and the large areas not covered by embassies should be part of the review, which should also consider the need to encourage links with new trading partners. The review will be an important process and I look forward to the joint committee participating in it.
