I thank everyone for being here. I have enjoyed the discussion so far. I am learning a lot about the challenges the witnesses' members face.

I have a few broad questions I will put to everyone, but I will go to ISME first with a specific question on dual-use goods. It is keen to help SMEs to sell dual-use goods and tap into potential funding streams that are available. Does ISME have concerns about the ability of the Department of enterprise to assess and complete due diligence in a timely fashion on dual-use licences, given how dramatically dual-use exports are growing without the corresponding growth in resourcing in the licensing system?
