I note the language. We will hear some more language later today. I refer to the European defence agencies and language being changed to talk about peace enforcement and all sorts. I will not go there. Luckily, we are running out of time.

In terms of aid, I wish we had more time. Mr. Burgess has certainly given me food for thought and I thank him for all the documents. We are looking at Syria, Burma and Yemen. We have arrangements with eight or nine partner countries. In the case of the other countries, is it ad hocas crises arise?
