I think, as you just heard from our colleagues in the north, when we talk about defence and security in the south, it means something very different to us than it does when you ask local populations in the north. I think what we heard also is that, in the north, these are communities that are not very resilient. Certainly, as a defence industrial strategy, it behooves us to make sure that we have resilient northern communities that can also withstand both the kinetic threat we are facing in this country now that the north is in play and also the foreign interference threat and the threat to our social fabric that is very active and very real, not just in the south but also in the north.
