My final point is a general one. I am going to double down on what I said earlier. This committee should probably adopting a more assertive role when it comes to defence similar to what the Committee of Public Accounts has been doing very effectively in recent weeks in respect of its work. This testimony would not be acceptable on Capitol Hill. No Congressman or Senator would accept it. People would be wheeled in and held to account over their, to be honest, utter failings regarding defence.
