What proof do you have that satisfaction is increasing, or that people are more comfortable and confident in using it, to back up the system?” | 54 |

| 14 Apr 2026 | Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 404) “Okay, 2025. Why is it that the RAF and the Navy do not know these figures?” | 16 |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 404) “You see what I am getting at. We are looking for credible evidence and data that there is confidence.
