I thank the Minister for his detailed reply. It is precisely in that respect that I am prompted to put this question because reassurance is always important whenever something appears in the media which might perhaps be a warning.

In that regard I am anxious, as I know the Minister is, that ongoing steps be taken to predict what is likely to happen in the event of the kind of warnings we heard this morning which may probably be not serious. In particular, we may need to replace the areas which may be under pressure, if they are under pressure, with alternative investment, be it from home or abroad.
