I thank the Minister for that clarification. If I have understood him correctly, the Government argue that such cases will be rare, but that they could be important, but if that is the case, it is also important that the elected Government and the Secretary of State are accountable and take the necessary decisions. In the case of national security, I would consider it even more important for such decisions to be taken by the Government of the day.
