But here we are going from having nine-tenths of the law on our side—indeed I think it is 100%, since we have not been able to find an international court that is capable of ruling otherwise—to handing all the cards over to the other side, and there is a basic asymmetry in the terms of the lease, in that its renewability and termination are both in the hands of Mauritius. That is so strange that I hope the Minister will agree to go back and renegotiate—she is very willing to agree on other matters. She could do it even now because, as we have learnt, the Attorney-General from Mauritius is over here. Why is he over here? Is he over here because he wants to change the terms?
