With reference to Amendments 61 and 62, also from the noble Lord, Lord Weir, on the necessity of consulting the US Air Force and US Navy on the treaty, as I said at the beginning, all of this was tested and done with respect to the US and with its agreement. The International Relations and Defence Committee also noted that the agreement will allow for the continued military use of the island for the next 99 years, with the option of extension.
