Of course national security has to be taken firmly into account, but what the Scottish Government is saying is you should have engaged us on those points, and we ask you to reconsider them to make sure that it was the right judgment.
So long as the Scottish Government isn't making these decisions, all we can do is set the principles by which we expect them to be made.

I don’t want there to be too many exceptions so as not to undermine the underlying principle.
