Madam Deputy Speaker, on indulgence: in the course of her remarks the Deputy Leader of the Opposition referred to our diplomatic presence in Afghanistan. Whilst I certainly do not propose to make public remarks about that, I am very happy to, in the usual way, make available to the Deputy Leader of the Opposition a briefing in respect of progress on those matters.
