My next question, in that case, is one that has arisen among the public. There is an argument the DAA should go to the Government to ask for the Army to be on standby, in small numbers of perhaps 40 or 50 members, to pick up on the security duties if necessary. How does Mr. Philips respond to that argument on the basis the DAA does not have a sufficient level of reserves, in terms of back-up for the workforce, at this point?
