I appreciate my time is up. I will make two quick points. I am concerned about accelerating the process too much because it then becomes a tick-box exercise, but if it was in the courts it could be sped up and we could have appropriate review through the courts or whatever. To be clear, while I talked about inter-country adoption, I appreciate surrogacy and adoption are not the same thing. There are parallels that can help us but we need to be clear we are not saying they are the same thing.
