I cannot tell the noble Lord today, but I am happy to write to him. My understanding is that the global supply is secure and that the industry gets what it needs without having to use Russian product. I do not know specifically about Sizewell B, but I will write to him and get him the information he requested. It is good that we can work together and have these conversations. I am glad that the noble Lord, Lord Purvis, is able to speak with me and my honourable friend Minister Doughty on these issues and that we can come to a better place. The outcome proves that when this House does its job well, it does a good job of improving legislation, and it certainly has in this case. The licences will be regularly reviewed. They can be amended, suspended or revoked. Businesses need to declare when they are using one of these licences. I do not have the exact number, but it is very small at the moment and I do not anticipate that changing. The noble Lord, Lord Callanan, asked whether we could bring the end date forward. In theory, we could. Nobody wants to see the current situation last any longer than is absolutely necessary, but it is important, in order to see sanctions adhered to and implemented, that we give some clarity and certainty. I conclude by saying that the UK has transformed its use of sanctions. We continue to lead internationally on sanctions implementation, and our objective remains unchanged: to increase pressure on Russian revenues that fund its illegal invasion of Ukraine. We will continue to explore further ways to constrain Russia’s ability to sustain the war. Once again, I thank the Committee for its insightful contributions and for the continued cross-party support, as the noble Lord, Lord Callanan, mentioned, for our sanctions regime and for Ukraine. I beg to move.
