I will attempt not to repeat myself or labour the point but it is almost the same point that arises in relation to all of these matters. We are back to the need for a process. I accept that all states will make determinations on the basis of national security. There needs to be some element of oversight - we can call it accountability - and making sure there are eyes on, that due diligence is done and we do not necessarily accept without question the intelligence from certain quarters. It is fair to say all major states even spy on their friends from time to time. None of us is naive enough to think there are absolutely good guys and absolutely bad guys. There are an awful lot of people who are involved in this particular game. We need to do the work to ensure there is going to be the throughput - the supply chain - of material that can do the business from a technological point of view. I am not going to keep repeating these points but it comes back to that point of the process.
