The Deputy is correct. There must be international collaboration at government level on these matters. Given the Internet of things, the way the car industry has moved and the advances being made here digitally, if a car is stolen, the company can disable it from anywhere around the world. All these changes bring advantages and challenges. We need to apply the same to the aviation industry. The Deputy can understand the necessity of having secure methods of transmitting information and seeing that systems are not attacked; otherwise there could be catastrophic consequences. The point is valid.
