Does the hon. Gentleman agree that the problem is not just the distress caused to the service and non-service communities in places such as Moray, Fife, Norfolk and elsewhere? Scores of businesses are going to the wall because of the delay in the review process. It is absolutely right to highlight the distress caused for service families—““Will I remain in service?””, ““Will I remain here?””, ““What will I do with my house?””, ““What will I do about the education of my children?””—but there is also an existential question for the many people in those areas whose businesses are going to the wall totally unnecessarily.
