I remember the questioning that my hon. Friend pursued in Committee. Does he remember when he pressed Admiral Lord Boyce about suggestions that our forces were now risk averse? I commend to the Committee Lord Boyce's response:"““I am sure that we all could play a better role in trying to dampen down this particular worry, and people like myself who are sometimes standing up and speaking in the House of Lords debates and so forth perhaps need to re-look at how we are saying things in order not to fuel anxieties of that nature.””"
