00:00Sir Mark, one of the revelations we were talking about earlier on was this idea that European
00:04nations are freeloading off the United States, that they're pathetic. I mean, some might
00:08say hard truths and perhaps something that they need to hear. I don't know what you think.
00:14But I also wonder whether you think this is perhaps going to prompt a rethink by some
00:19of America's allies about how and what it shares in terms of intel. What are your thoughts?
00:26No, I don't think so. Look, the UK and the US, as the defence secretary said, are the
00:31closest sort of allies in intelligence terms and indeed in wider defence and security terms.
00:37And I can't see any reason why Britain should withhold intelligence from America because
00:42of this of this lapse. So no, I don't think there'll be any long term implications in
00:48terms of the intelligence relationship between the two countries at all.
