The Government maintains strong bilateral relations with the UK and France. These may be issues that form part of bilateral discussions from time to time but this is an instrument relating to internal security funding. No aspect of this relates to a defence or military purpose. The UK is not participating, as it is leaving the European Union, and, therefore, I am not sure whether the points the Deputy is making are relevant to this debate or this committee.
