That is fine. I understand where Mr. Cody is kind of caught here. A number of times he has expressed the view that it is pointless for him to speculate. That is fair enough. The dangerous area these days is when people do not say something like that and they try to talk their way out of the situation. I appreciate that fully. There is very little that Mr. Cody can say, in some cases, because it is unclear as to what will happen. I do not think anybody really has the answer or a crystal ball to let us know what is going to happen in the next couple of months or further afield. We are left, then, with Mr. Cody's organisation and how prepared it can be at this point. Mr. Cody has made it clear to the committee today that, as much as there can be preparation for a no-deal Brexit scenario, he is happy enough that those preparations are advanced and are going as well as they could be. Is that fair to say?
