I thank Ms O'Brien. I have two questions on the points made by Dr. Berry about evacuation operations, counter-narcotic operations and diplomatic missions. Decisions in these areas are usually made at very notice. As an example, I am delighted our Naval Service captured €30 million worth of drugs today. All the witnesses have commanded. To make a decision to deploy for a drug interdiction or for that matter getting people out of Kabul and out of the way of serious harm quickly, if the triple lock applies and all we can send is 12 troops, what impediment does a commander experience when only being able to send that number?
