There is. This is one of the things I want to find out when I visit. I have been informed that there has been a reduction because there are not as many people leaving the Libyan coastguard as there were previously. They are also better trained and so forth. We are destroying some of the illegal boats that were bringing migrants from the Libyan coastline. That is all part and parcel of Operation Sophia and to deter the migrants from entering these dangerous craft. I accept your point.
