That's a fair question.
It will seem like a contradiction in terms, but I think you start off by developing a package of rules that sets out the rules for suspending the rules. You have to be absolutely transparent about when a piece of defence acquisition is so critical to the national interest and national security that it will allow the government of the day, or either side, to say, “We're going to suspend those rules.” I think it has to be utterly and completely transparent.
It would be useful if you could get all parties in the House to agree with it in principle. To the extent that the House agrees with this in principle, the media will eventually follow.
I want to be clear that I'm not suggesting the suspension of all rules, all the time—
