I have only started. I have one related question. I note there has been a considerable number of seizures of drugs - 6,000 plus - and a huge amount of illicit fuel - more than 200,000 litres. There have also been an enormous number of cigarettes - 55.4 million - and 9.8 kg of tobacco. Will Mr. Cody give the committee an idea of the overall impact of those seizures in terms of loss to the Exchequer? I cannot go into other damage but there appears to be a huge problem for the Exchequer in terms of loss of revenue.
