Mr. Neil Richardson:

We have regular forum meetings with the military authorities and our views are certainly listened to. In particular, we had great success with four meetings regarding the Naval Service Reserve. Today's presentation is more about the White Paper because it includes more than 20 references to the word "review", as Mr. Mulley noted. While the military authorities are certainly listening to us and dealing with the concerns we raise, the issue is what shape the decisions outlined in the White Paper will take in the coming months and years. We are seeking to nail this down and ensure we are involved in all the relevant decisions because we are best placed to help in that regard.
