Pictures have been released by the Australian Defence Force (ADF) showing Prince Harry during an exercise with its elite 2nd Commando Regiment.

The 30-year-old Prince, known as Captain Wales, has been embedded with the Australian army for a month as he prepares to leave the British forces.
He was out of the country when his niece Princess Charlotte was born on 2 May.
Prince Harry has spent the last month with units in Perth, Darwin and Sydney.
Prince Harry took part in a counter-terrorism exercise with 2 Commando Regiment, which is a special forces unit within the Australian army.
He also worked with the army's Special Operations Engineer Regiment on explosive ordinance disposal techniques.
In the images the prince is shown abseiling from a helicopter in an urban warfare drill in Sydney, as well as taking part in water operations in the city's famous harbour with Royal Australian Navy Clearance Divers.
"I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have worked with these guys," he told local media, referring to members of the ADF.
Part of the prince's secondment was spent with the North-West Mobile Force, the mostly indigenous unit which patrols northern Australia. He trained in bush survival skills including how to source food and water.
As well as combat training, Prince Harry also met injured Australian soldiers.
The prince visited one British soldier, Lt Alistair Spearing, who had travelled to Australia for a new procedure involving him being fitted with prosthetic legs.
Prince Harry said he had been in "talks and negotiations" with the surgeon behind the operation, Associate Professor Munjed Al Muderis, in the hope that he could carry out further treatments in the UK.
During a farewell walkabout close to Sydney Opera House on Thursday, Prince Harry was greeted with a marriage proposal by 21-year old Victoria McRae.
He told Ms McRae, who was wearing an Australian flag dress and a plastic gold crown, he would have to think about it.
The event was his last official engagement in the country.
The prince will next head to New Zealand for a week-long visit, before returning to the UK in mid-May when he is expected to meet Princess Charlotte.
During his four-week military attachment, the Prince travelled from Australia to Turkey to join his father, Prince Charles, for the Gallipoli commemorations.


The long-awaited extradition hearing for internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom has begun in Auckland, New Zealand.

The US is seeking to extradite Dotcom, and three of his colleagues, for alleged copyright infringement, racketeering and money laundering.
In 2012 authorities raided German-born Dotcom's Auckland home and shut down his site Megaupload.
The site once had million of users storing files and downloading movies and songs.
US authorities say Dotcom and the other executives cost film studios and record companies more than $500m (Â£322m) and generated $175m by allowing users to store and share copyright material.
In order to trigger an extradition treaty between the US and New Zealand, the prosecution must prove that a crime was committed in both countries.
The hearing, to which Dotcom brought his own chair for ergonomic reasons, is expected to last weeks.
"This case is not just about me. This case is about how much control we allow US corporations and the US government to have over the Internet," he said on Twitter before proceedings began.


The chief executive of Valeant Pharmaceuticals has been ordered to give evidence about rising drug prices to a Senate committee.

Michael Pearson was ordered to appear on 27 April to testify about the practice of buying the rights to old medicines and raising prices.
Valeant is facing three separate federal investigations into its business practices.
Shares fell more than 7% on Monday in New York following the announcement.
On Monday, the bipartisan Senate Aging Committee, said Mr Pearson had received an order testify. In February, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform held hearings on this issue where Valeant's former chief executive Howard Schiller testified.
Senator Claire McCaskill, who is the ranking member on the committee, said she was concerned that the practice was "price-gouging".
"Some of the recent actions we've seen in the pharmaceutical industry - with corporate acquisitions followed by dramatic increases in the prices of preexisting drugs - have looked like little more than price gouging," she said.
Valeant is not alone in the practice of buying existing drugs and raising the prices. Its focus on acquisitions rather than development of new drugs, however, has raised questions about the Canadian company's long-term viability.
John Hempton of Bronte Capital, who is betting against the stock, told the BBC: "Saying Valeant's problems are from its business model is against the point because other pharma companies are still working on that model. But raising prices so fast was never going to be acceptable in the long run."
The company's New York-listed shares have plunged more than 70% this year.
Last week, Valeant announced that Mr Pearson would step down as chief executive as soon as a replacement could be found.
Activist investor Bill Ackman, one of Valeant's largest shareholders and most outspoken supporters, has joined the company's board.


Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill was pleased to have bagged a precious point against Romania in Belfast in the push for Euro 2016 qualification.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The 0-0 draw means O'Neill's side stay second in Group F and on course to reach next summer's finals in France.
"It probably strengthens our chances of being in the top three as we are nine points ahead of Finland with four games left," said O'Neill.
"The aim has to be keep ahead of the team immediately below us, Hungary."
O'Neill admitted it was not a sparkling display at a Windsor Park ground where only two stands were in operation because of major redevelopment.
But the points leave Northern Ireland on 13 from six games, one behind Romania and two ahead of Hungary in what is a three-team scrap for the two automatic qualification places.
O'Neill's men next face the Faroe Islands away on 4 September, followed three days later by Hungary at home.
"That will be an interesting double header but I think we are well equipped for it," added O'Neill.
"Hungary have to go to Romania first in Budapest and that is going to be a huge game.
"You always want to just keep some distance between you and the team beneath you, which is Hungary.
"Our focus has to be on winning the match away to the Faroe Islands and that is no easy task because we saw Greece went there tonight and were beaten.
"It is going to be a tough game on an artificial surface but hopefully we will get a positive result and come here with a massive carrot to play for against Hungary."


Just imagine for a moment that, next month, hosts France win the European Championship.

And that their star midfielder scores a remarkable nine goals in the tournament, including two hat-tricks, as well as scoring in the final.
And that he is the team's captain.
And that this season, he has already won the league championship in Italy with Juventus, as well as a European title for his club, along with the Ballon d'Or.
Which he won last year. And which he will win again next season. Along with the European Cup.
That is what Michel Platini achieved in 1984, when, in his pomp, he inspired his country to their first ever major tournament title.
Consider all this for a moment, how sensational that would be, and it is easy to understand why, among the increasingly crowded ranks of the Fifa rogue's gallery, it is his downfall that saddens the hearts of many football lovers the most.
Unlike former President Sepp Blatter, or the other career politicians and bureaucrats that made up most of the governing body's other pantomime villains; (Jack Warner, Chuck Blazer, Jeffrey Webb and Jerome Valcke, to name just a few), Platini graced the game he loved.
Most fans over the age of 40 will associate the playmaker - nicknamed 'Le Roi' - with his captivating performances for club and country during his mid-1980s peak, when he was widely regarded as the best player on the planet.
Sadly, for those who never saw Platini's sublime skills on the pitch, or were too young to truly appreciate them, the end of his nine-year reign as Uefa president means he will now become just another symbol of Fifa's fall into disrepute.
For others, however, the end of his political career is to be mourned.
Speaking from Mexico City where Fifa is preparing to hold its annual congress later this week, Fifa's British vice president David Gill told me that Platini's resignation, after he lost his fight to clear his name for breaching Fifa ethics rules at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas), was "a loss to the game".
"He brought the clubs and Uefa together," he said. "He was an innovator. He had knowledge, ideas and personality. He surrounded himself with exceptional people at Uefa and had great relationships with the coaches. He was a man of humour and has a sense of fun. He was an excellent Uefa president, in my opinion."
How quickly things can change. Eighteen months ago I interviewed Platini at St George's Park as he toured the training facilities.
To see him that November day, with Football Association staff hanging on his every word and whim, to observe FA chairman Greg Dyke so thrilled to play host, was to see Platini at the height of his powers as a politician.
Platini even felt confident enough to tell me, with typical disregard for the doubters, that he had "no regrets" about his controversial decision to vote for Qatar to host the 2022 World Cup, despite the allegations of corruption and human rights abuses directed against the country, and the havoc a winter tournament would play with the calendars of the European leagues and clubs he was meant to represent.
Taking football's showpiece event to the Arab world for the first time was, he insisted, an honourable choice. And his FA hosts, despite having previously cursed the Qatar vote and its ramifications, simply smiled and nodded.
It seemed a matter of time until Platini would become Fifa president.
Who better, the FA asked themselves, than a man who, having excelled as player and coach, showed his administrative clout by organising the 1998 World Cup in France? Who better than a man who had reigned over European football and its 54 different national associations since 2007, when he had surprisingly beat the incumbent Lennart Johansson?
With the exception of his stubborn opposition to goal-line technology, Platini had established himself as an innovator.
He challenged the status quo, meddling with the qualification process for the European Championships to increase it to 24 teams, and proposing a pan-European format for the 2020 tournament.
He gained credit for backing proposals designed to increase the number of home-grown players, for increasing diversity in the Champions League by making it easier for clubs from smaller countries to qualify, and at least appeared to be trying to curb over-spending through his controversial Financial Fair Play (FFP) reforms, although they were eventually watered down amid significant criticism.
Who better than a man who, at the time we met at St George's Park that day, was busy distancing himself from the tainted Blatter reign, demanding that his old friend honour his pledge to walk away after a fourth term as president. He was the obvious heir apparent, and the FA, like many others, intended to cling tightly to the Frenchman's coat-tails.
That November day in 2014, Platini was still considering whether he should stand against Blatter the following year.
A few weeks later, having accepted football's long-serving overlord remained unbeatable, Platini decided instead to back the sole challenger, Prince Ali.
Then, last summer, came Fifa's implosion. The dawn raids in Zurich on the eve of the congress. The defiant re-election of Blatter, before his dramatic decision to step down a few days later amid the corruption investigations.
Sensing his chance, and with Blatter out of the way, Platini declared he would stand in 2016, and again, seemed the obvious choice, the overwhelming favourite. The FA rushed to back him, even before he had issued a manifesto.
But then, finally, it all caught up with him. A Swiss criminal investigation into what prosecutors called a "disloyal payment" that he had received from Blatter in 2011 for advisory services a decade earlier, dragged him into Fifa's turmoil.
Described as "between a witness and a suspect" by the Swiss attorney general, he was suspended by Fifa, then banned. It was a scandal from which he never managed to escape.
Perhaps it should have come as no surprise.
The seeds of Platini's downfall had been sown years earlier. Having helped Blatter get elected in 1998, the Frenchman was intrinsically linked to Fifa's old guard. He advised his mentor up until 2002, the reason, according to them both, for that fateful £1.3m payment he subsequently received in 2011, and which ultimately led to his demise.
The fact the payment was made just four months before Blatter was due to face rival Mohamed Bin Hammam in the presidential election, and that Platini backed Blatter, did him no favours.
Platini had been a member of Fifa's corruption-plagued executive committee since 2002, and his vote for Qatar (especially after initially suggesting he would vote for the US) left many uneasy, especially amid suggestions he had been leaned on by French president Nicolas Sarkozy, and the fact that his son Laurent headed up a Qatar-owned sports kit company.
Platini denied that either had anything to do with his decision, but it did not look good at a time when trust in Fifa was approaching an all-time low. His refusal to hand back a $25,000 watch given to him by the Brazilian football confederation only reinforced the view that Platini simply did not 'get it', and might be part of the problem, rather than the solution to it.
"He was just too close to the set-up," says Dr David Webber, a specialist in the cultural political economy of football at the University of Warwick.
"For years Platini seemed to transcend the murky politics of Fifa, and was seen as the successor-in-waiting, as if his arrival would make all their problems disappear. But he was never really the man to take Fifa forward.
"We need to think long and hard about the way the game is run, otherwise we're going to see other great players be put off standing for election. We say 'we want someone in power who has played the game'. Well, Platini was that guy. If not him then who? But are others now going to want to get involved?"
As Gianni Infantino, Platini's former number two at Uefa and the man who eventually did replace Blatter, presides over the first meeting of the new Fifa council - and its full congress later this week - he may reflect on the demise of his old friend, and the lessons he can learn.
With criminal investigations in the US and Switzerland continuing, and Fifa's 'victim status' in the eyes of the US Department of Justice thought to be dependent on a crucial package of reforms being implemented, Infantino knows the organisation he now leads - along with its regional confederations - must now prove it has moved on from the era dominated by Blatter and Platini - or its very existence could be on the line.
The fact that Infantino has expressed his "sadness" at Platini's ban being upheld, and swerved a question from the Associated Press agency over whether he would now look to reclaim the £1.3m that Platini received, shows how difficult the so-called 'new Fifa' finds it to truly break from the past.
Platini will always have his playing career. No one can take away from him those days when, as the key member of the France midfield's 'carre magique' (magic square), he inspired his country to European Championship glory in 1984 with that incredible record tally of nine goals in five matches.
But 32 years on, as France prepares to host the tournament again, his mistakes - and his sheer inability to accept them as such - mean that rather than presiding over the action in an official role as he had so wished, he will be reduced to that of mere spectator.
Platini can continue to deny any wronging. He can appeal against the decision by Cas through the Swiss courts and rage against what he says is a "deep injustice". He fought and battled as a player. He does so again now. He knows no other way.
Maybe the system dictated that Platini had to behave the way he did to have any chance of replacing Blatter one day. And perhaps Blatter ensured that such a succession would never happen once Platini turned against him. But ultimately it does not matter.
The parallels with Franz Beckenbauer - currently under investigation amid vote-buying allegations surrounding Germany's bid for the 2006 World Cup - another footballing great-turned-statesman of the game, are obvious.
At a time when football is crying out for more former stars to play a role in the future governance of the game, these two fallen idols serve as an especially painful lesson.

Oscar-winning 1981 film Chariots of Fire is to be brought back to the big screen ahead of this summer's Olympics.

Twentieth Century Fox and the British Film Institute (BFI) are working to digitally re-master the film, directed by Hugh Hudson.
The film tells the true story of two runners who compete in the 1924 Paris Olympics despite religious obstacles.
It will be shown at more than 100 cinemas around the country from 13 July as part of the London 2012 Festival.
Starring Ian Charleson and Ben Cross, the film won four Oscars, including best picture, screenplay and music for Vangelis' acclaimed score.
Although the film is 31 years old, producer Lord Puttnam believes the message is still relevant.
"Chariots of Fire is about guts, determination and belief. At the heart of the film is the quest for Olympic glory, and I find it hard to imagine anything more likely to resonate throughout the country this summer," he said.
The BBC's home of 2012: Latest Olympic news, sport, culture, torch relay, video and audio
The BFI is allocating Â£150,000 of its lottery funding to support the film's release across the country, widening its reach beyond the London 2012 Festival.
The festival will also feature a new film by Bafta-winning Senna director Asif Kapadia - The Odyssey - which will explore the relationship between London and the Olympic games.
It is the last of four short films commissioned especially for the festival.
Directors Mike Leigh, Lynne Ramsay and Streetdance directing duo Max Giwa and Dania Pasquini are already confirmed as part of the project.


Mayor of London Boris Johnson has said leaving the EU would be a "win-win for all", urging those backing exit to "hold our nerve and vote for freedom".

The EU was an anachronism which "costs us a huge amount of money and subverts our democracy", the Tory MP said.
He insisted there were no downsides to leaving, suggesting the UK could ape Canada's trade arrangement with the EU.
But David Cameron said it was wrong to say the UK could do a "sweetheart deal" with the EU after walking out.
And in his first major intervention in the referendum debate, former prime minister Tony Blair said he was concerned by the "fervour" of those wanting to leave the EU but he believed that the UK would ultimately vote to remain on 23 June as it was in the national interest.
Mr Johnson, one of a number of senior Conservatives to break ranks with the PM and back EU exit, told activists in Kent that the UK was the most creative country in Europe and was "big enough and strong enough to stand on its own".
If people were faced with the choice of whether to join the EU in 2016, he said they would probably regard the organisation as "a bit mad and idealistic", with huge "costs and bureaucracy" which restricted nation states' ability to make their own laws and control their borders.
"Would anyone in their right mind want to join the EU today?" he said. "It is 50 years old, it is going in the wrong direction. It is time for real reform. The only way to get that is to leave."
Mr Johnson said the UK could forge a new free trade deal with the EU, based on Canada's existing arrangement, and dismissed suggestions by Prime Minister David Cameron that he and other Leave campaigners were willing to sacrifice jobs and growth to achieve a measure of greater independence.
"You look at the plan to increase the efforts to prop up the single currency with an ever denser system of integration, with more and more regulation about all sorts of social and economic issues which will impact directly on this country, I think the risk is increasingly in staying in the project.
"I think the best thing we can do is show a lead, show an example and strike out for freedom."
Taking a swipe at the campaign to stay in the EU, which opponents have dubbed "Project Fear", Mr Johnson quoted US President Franklin Roosevelt, saying "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself", adding "even fear is not that scary".
Canada has been cited by a number of Leave campaigners as a model for how the UK can continue to do business with the EU without being bound by rules on freedom of movement or having to contribute to its budget.
It signed a free trade agreement with the EU in 2014, seven years after talk about closer economic co-operation was first mooted. The agreement, which eliminates 98% of tariffs between the two blocs, has yet to be ratified by either side but is expected to enter into force next year.
Addressing activists in Wales, Mr Cameron said having to negotiate new trading rules from scratch would lead to a long period of unacceptable uncertainty for British business.
"Seven years of not knowing what the arrangements would be for trading with Europe," he said. "Seven years of uncertainty for businesses wanting to invest in Britain not knowing what our relationship with Britain would be.
"They cannot be justified. They cannot be in our national interest. We should reject that out of hand."
One of the key lines of attack from those who want to remain in the EU is what would "out" look like?
Those who want to leave are taunted that they have no clear idea of what kind of trade deal could be struck with Brussels if we withdraw.
But today Boris Johnson provided the clarity that had been requested - look across the Atlantic to Canada, he said.
So now expect the focus of the Remain attack to change.
Far from being grateful for the London Mayor's clarification, the terms of that deal will be denounced.
Already pro-EU campaigners are pointing out just how long it took for a Canadian agreement to be struck -  and are questioning if it'd be appropriate for the UK, which is far more reliant on financial services.
As Boris Johnson will find out,  throwing aside his comfort blanket of bluster and giving clear answers to questions in this complex EU debate comes with consequences.
Labour MP Chuka Umunna, who is campaigning to Remain in the EU, said the Canadian model excluded the services industry - which accounts for a huge proportion of British employment - and accused Mr Johnson of "playing fast and loose" with jobs linked to EU membership.
"I am fed up with this entertainment, tomfoolery and the rest from Boris Johnson. This will affect my constituents," he told BBC News.
And Mr Blair told Radio 4's Today that the UK's destiny was to "lead in Europe", warning Brexit would lead to economic instability and "damage fundamentally" the interests of the British people.
"I would like to see the pro-European side get out there with a bit of passion and vigour and determination and stand up for what we believe.
But in a further boost for the Leave campaign, the head of the Conservative group of MEPs in the European Parliament, Syed Kamall, has said he believes the UK "could forge a better life outside" the EU.
Mr Kamall, who also heads the pan-European ECR group, said he believed a "fair and balanced" immigration policy was only possible outside the EU.


Warwickshire failed to qualify for the One-Day Cup last eight after their match against Kent was washed out.

However Kent went through to the quarter-finals after the Lancashire against Glamorgan match at Old Trafford was also abandoned.
Heavy rain throughout the afternoon at Edgbaston saw the umpires call the game off at 19:40 BST, almost six hours after the scheduled start time.
Kent will now play Surrey at The Oval in the next round.
The game takes place on Thursday, 27 August at 14:00 BST.


Prime Minister Theresa May has been criticised for refusing to condemn President Donald Trump's ban on refugees entering the US.

Asked repeatedly about the issue during a news conference in Turkey, Mrs May said only that it was up to the US to decide its own policy.
Mr Trump has banned Syrian refugees indefinitely and suspended visas for people from six other countries.
Labour's Jeremy Corbyn said she should have stood up for British values.
Mrs May told reporters: "The United States is responsible for the United States' policy on refugees.
"The United Kingdom is responsible for the United Kingdom's policy on refugees and our policy on refugees is to have a number of voluntary schemes to bring Syrian refugees into the country, particularly those who are most vulnerable, but also to provide significant financial contributions to support refugees in countries surrounding Syria."
Mrs May was speaking at a news conference in Ankara with Turkish Prime Minister Benali Yildirim.
MPs have rounded on her for not openly condemning Mr Trump's policy.
Mr Corbyn said: "President Trump's executive order against refugees and Muslims should shock and appal us all.
He added:  "After Trump's hideous actions and May's weak failure to condemn them, it's more important than ever for us to say to refugees seeking a place of safety, that they will always be welcome in Britain."
Conservative peer Baroness Warsi wrote on Twitter: "The moment we once again lost a little more moral authority. The hypocrisy of the debate on #Britishvalues becomes more stark by the day."
Before this trip Theresa May promised to be frank with the American president when she disagreed. But when pressed for an answer on Donald Trump's controversial refugee ban she first of all, uncomfortably, avoided the question.
Then on the third time of asking she would only say that on the United States policy on refugees it was for the US. Her refusal to comment was immediately condemned by the former Labour leader, Ed Miliband, who said it was shocking and wrong. The UN has expressed dismay and France and Germany have reported concerns.
Downing Street had been delighted with its visit to Washington. But the PM returns to a row over her refusal to give her view.
Having boasted that the virtue of the special relationship is that friends can be candid with each other, Theresa May's silence on President Trump's executive order will raise suspicion that in fact, as the junior partner, she is unwilling to speak her mind.

Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron said: "Theresa May has failed to criticise President Trump for turning away and banning refugees whose only crime is to believe in a different religion."
Conservative MP Sarah Wollaston said Mr Trump should not be invited to address both MPs and peers on his state visit to the UK.
She said such an honour should be reserved for leaders who have made an outstanding, positive difference in the world, adding: "That doesn't include Mr Trump."
Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale said it was "simply shameful that the prime minister had not condemned his actions, adding: "It is heart-breaking to hear that some of the most vulnerable people in the world are being turned back."
Responding to the criticism, Downing Street said: "Mrs May has said repeatedly that there will be issues on where we disagree on domestic policies. That is nothing new; the special relationship allows us to have frank conversations at all times."
Mrs May was in Turkey for talks with President Erdogan and Prime Minister Mr Yildirim having met the US president on Friday.
Asked about Mr Trump's changes to immigration policy, Mr Yildirim said the only way to tackle the refugee crisis was to deal with the reasons people were fleeing.
He said: "You cannot solve this issue of refugees by putting up walls. You have to eradicate the root causes of this. You have to eradicate the regional discrepancies in terms of development."


Plans for a foodstore on part of the former McCain football stadium site in Scarborough have been approved.

The sale of the site in Seamer Road is to help the council fund a leisure village and a new home for Scarborough Athletic Football Club.
Scarborough Borough Councillors approved plans for a single-storey foodstore.
The site ceased to be used as a football stadium in 2007 and the stands were demolished later.
Plans for a new football stadium and swimming pool were approved by councillors in May.
A 2,000-capacity ground on the Weaponness car park is to be the new home of Scarborough Athletic Football Club.
The football club has had to play its home games about 16 miles (26 km) away in Bridlington since 2007.
In addition to the community stadium, the development will include a pool, sports hall and squash courts.
The report to the planning committee said, subject to funding, starting work on the leisure village could be approved in September.
A separate application for 45 houses on another part of the Seamer Road site is also to be considered at a later meeting.


Two people who left a man for dead with multiple head wounds in his Maidstone home have been found guilty of murder.

John Birney was found in a flat in Rocky Hill Terrace on 8 June. Police believe the 69-year-old had been dead for "some time".
Allison Tomlin, 49, of no fixed address, and John Barham, 26, of Quarry Road, Maidstone, were found guilty at Maidstone Crown Court.
Both had denied the charges and are due to be sentenced at a later date.
Mr Birney's body was discovered by two employees at the flats where he lived after a neighbour said she had not seen him for some time, Kent Police said.
Officers found a blood-stained knife lying next to Mr Birney, and another blade under the sofa bed on which he was lying. A coat belt was also tied closely around his left wrist.
Forensic science tests confirmed the victim's blood on a pair of Barham's jeans and Tomlin's DNA was discovered on both knives and other items in the flat, a police spokesman said.
Barham was initially released without charge, but was re-arrested after making a number of comments to people in Maidstone that he had "got away with murder".
Insp Lee Whitehead said: "We may never know the truth behind why Allison Tomlin and John Barham did what they did to John Birney but it was clear to the jury that they intended to kill him.
"Whatever the reason, there can be no doubt that this was a vicious attack and that Mr Birney suffered as a result.
Tomlin and Barham are due to be sentenced on 12 February at Maidstone Crown Court.


James Corden has defended fellow US talk show host Jimmy Fallon over his interview with Donald Trump.

Fallon had been criticised for failing to ask tough questions when the presidential candidate appeared on The Tonight Show in September.
Instead, Fallon did a light-hearted interview during which he ruffled Mr Trump's hair.
Corden said Fallon had faced "quite a lot of criticism" that was "really unfair".
Cordon, who hosts The Late Late Show on US channel CBS, said: "I don't think anyone asked [President Trump] the right questions," he said.
"I don't think anyone took him to task or asked the questions that were needed."
Fallon's interview took place two months before the US presidential election - which saw the Republican nominee beat Hillary Clinton in a close election.
Speaking at PaleyFest TV, Corden refused to say whether he would invite the US president to appear on his own programme.
But he did reveal a game he would play with President Trump if he were a guest - called "Stand By It or Take It Back".
Corden said: "I would read things Donald Trump had said on the campaign trail and you've got two panels, you can stand by it or take it back.
"If you take it back, it's taken back forever. If you stand by it, you've got to tell me why. I felt like that was such a good game."
Corden also recalled bringing Mr Trump on stage during the Broadway run of the One Man, Two Guvnors play in 2012.
"I spanked him, I got him lifting up stuff, I fired him, it was great," Corden said.
Fallon defended his interview just after its broadcast, saying: "Have you seen my show? I'm never too hard on anyone. We'll have Hillary [Clinton] on tomorrow, and we'll do something fun with her too."

Action star Arnold Schwarzenegger ran afoul of the German police for cycling through a busy train station - but got away with a selfie as his fine.

Officers in Munich's Oktoberfest station met the star of Terminator and other Hollywood blockbusters after berating him for his dangerous actions.
Schwarzenegger told officers he was having trouble walking, and offered to pose for a picture as an apology.
Police tweeted that cycling was forbidden "even for the Terminator".
Two cyclists were seen racing through the station during a busy lunchtime period, the police said in a statement. One was stopped and warned about his conduct.
But the cyclist answered that he had to leave quickly because he was "the bodyguard of Arnold Schwarzenegger" before cycling off down a dead-end platform.
Thinking it was "a bad joke", officers waited for him to return - which he did, with Schwarzenegger in tow.
The star-struck officer "found his voice again", the statement said, and warned the pair that cycling at high speed was dangerous.
Police say the former governor of California - who was born in Austria and is a native German-speaker - admitted his mistake and apologised for his bodyguards.
Schwarzenegger is touring Europe promoting a series of sports festivals, and recently attended a training session at Barcelona football club.


North Ferriby United have signed Barnsley player Matty Templeton on loan until the end of the season.

Night-time road closures are due to begin as contractors prepare to carry out resurfacing works in Carmarthenshire.

The A484 Llanelli link road will be closed overnight between the Berwick and Trostre roundabouts for a month.
Work will start for on Wednesday and will take place between 20:00 BST and 06:00 on week nights only.
It will be carried out in phases, allowing access to business premises either direct or via diversion routes.


A state funeral for the Irish Republic's former Prime Minister Albert Reynolds has taken place in Dublin.

Mr Reynolds, who played a key role in the Northern Ireland peace process, died on Thursday at the age of 81.
"For him, peace was the only battle worth waging," Fr Brian D'Arcy told mourners.
"He knew that peace was not achieved only by talking to your friends, you must talk to your enemies and make peace with them."
Fr D'Arcy added: "He took personal and political risks, but all he was doing was giving peace a chance."
Mr Reynolds had worked with the then British Prime Minister Sir John Major to create 1993's Downing Street Declaration, which effectively set in train the Northern Ireland peace process, including the 1994 IRA ceasefire.
Sir John's attendance at the funeral was greeted with a round of applause in the church.
Fr D'Arcy told mourners it had been particularly important for the family that he was able to attend.
He said: "His (Sir John's) words were typical: 'Where else would I be on this day?"'
The Fianna FÃ¡il politician, who was born in Rooskey, County Roscommon, served as taoiseach (prime minister) from February 1992 to December 1994.
His funeral was held at Sacred Heart Church, Donnybrook, Dublin.
Among the mourners were Taoiseach Enda Kenny and Irish President Michael D Higgins, as well as former Irish prime ministers Brian Cowen, Bertie Ahern, John Bruton and Liam Cosgrave, and former president Mary McAleese.
Former SDLP leader and Nobel peace prize winner John Hume, current SDLP leader Alasdair McDonnell, Sinn FÃ©in's Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness, and Northern Ireland Secretary of State Theresa Villiers were also in attendance.
Mr Reynolds' grandchildren carried symbolic artefacts of his life to the altar, including his personal copy of the Downing Street Declaration and a can of puppy chow from the pet food company that he founded.
Pope Francis sent a message paying tribute to Mr Reynolds' role as a peacemaker, in a telegram from the Vatican's secretary of state Cardinal Pietro Parolin to Archbishop of Dublin Diarmuid Martin.
"The Holy Father learned with sadness of the death of the former Taoiseach Albert Reynolds, and he asks you kindly to convey his condolences to Mrs Reynolds and their children and family," he said.
"Recalling with gratitude the late Taoiseach's efforts to promote peace and reconciliation in Ireland, His Holiness prays for the eternal repose of his soul."
Last week, prominent political figures from across the Irish Republic, Northern Ireland and Britain paid tribute to Mr Reynolds.


A female Iranian activist who held a protest banner during a volleyball match at the Rio Olympics was asked to take it down and leave by security staff.

Darya Safai's sign read: "Let Iranian women enter their stadiums."
Women have generally been banned or restricted from attending all-male sports events in Iran since shortly after the Islamic revolution in 1979.
The International Olympic Committee bans political statements at the games.
After she refused to leave, security staff abandoned their attempt to remove her and she carried on holding up the banner for the rest of the game.
Ms Safai says she plans to attend all of Iran's volleyball matches. The next one is on Monday.
Ms Safai, who was born in Iran but lives in Belgium, held her protest on Saturday at a men's preliminary volleyball match between Egypt and Iran.
Although she seemed to smile throughout that protest, Ms Safai did at one point burst into tears when security staff came to try to remove her.
She said to them: "I am so sorry. What I am fighting for is for the right for Iranian women to be at matches. It is my right to be here. It is the basic right of Iranian women."
She said she cried because "it hurts to explain again and again that this peaceful action is not a political message, but a positive message of peace and human rights".
"I kept the banner up for the whole length of the match," she told the BBC News website. "My hands were shivering from holding the banner. But I kept it until the end."
Not everyone was supportive - one Iranian fan sitting behind her at the match yelled at her, she said.
Ms Safai, has lived in Belgium since 2000, after being arrested in Iran in 1999 and put in prison for taking part in anti-government demonstrations.
She has been staging sports protests since 2014.
"I love volleyball, football, because I love our national team. We want to enjoy [the team], men and women. I want to cheer my national team, it is my right and that of all Iranian women whose voice is muted.
"Where better than the Olympic Games to bring people together?"
She says her protest is "to let the Olympic committee know that they have an important mission to let Iranian women enter the stadiums".
"They have a lot of power in the world of sports and I hope they will use it to fight gender discrimination. That's what the spirit of the Olympic Games is," she said.
Since 2012, the Iranian government has banned women from attending volleyball tournaments as the sport became increasingly popular in Iran with both sexes.
It has arrested women for trying to enter stadiums, human rights groups say.


Former shadow cabinet member Owen Smith will announce his intention to stand for the Labour leadership later.

The Pontypridd MP, who resigned as shadow work and pensions secretary last month, will join Angela Eagle in challenging Jeremy Corbyn.
On Tuesday, Labour's National Executive Committee ruled Mr Corbyn should automatically be included in the contest - a decision Mr Smith supports.
Opponents of Mr Corbyn argued he needed the support of 51 MPs or MEPs to stand.
However, the NEC voted 18-14 in favour of the Labour leader's inclusion on the ballot, following hours of talks.
Mr Smith will announce his intention to stand once he has spoken to Labour members in his south Wales constituency.
He has met Mr Corbyn several times in the past two weeks but failed to convince him to step aside and avoid a potentially bruising leadership contest.
Mr Corbyn was elected leader in a vote of grassroots members last year, but has been hit by a host of shadow cabinet resignations and a vote of no confidence among Labour MPs.
He has pledged to campaign "on all the things that matter", saying anyone within the party with disagreements should "come and talk about it".
The Labour Party said the timetable for the contest will be published on Thursday.
Mr Smith told the BBC he agreed with the NEC's decision, saying Labour Party members, and not MPs, should decide who leads them.
On Monday, Mr Smith had said he was considering a leadership bid, as he wanted to do "whatever it takes to stop our party being destroyed".
Iain Watson, BBC political correspondent
Owen Smith had been mulling over a leadership challenge, but initially he put his efforts into trying to persuade Jeremy Corbyn to move to a different role because, in Mr Smith's view, he quite simply wasn't seen as a potential prime minister.
When it was clear the current leader was digging in, the former shadow work and pensions secretary canvassed support for a challenge.
Angela Eagle was first out of the traps and has argued that it is time that Labour - a party of equality - elected its first female leader.
Mr Smith will position himself to Angela Eagle's left, stressing support for Mr Corbyn's anti-austerity policies, and believes this enables him to appeal to an apparently radical membership.
But if the anti-Corbyn forces are split, that will boost the prospects of a leader whom both Mr Smith and Ms Eagle regard as unelectable.
So it remains to be seen if they can reconcile any differences and agree on a single challenger.
Speaking on the BBC's Newsnight on Tuesday, Ms Eagle urged Labour voters to sign up to become registered Labour supporters - a one-off status that gives them a vote, if they pay £25 - during a two-day window next week.
She said: "I would say to the nine million Labour voters out there, there's two days next week when you can actually pay £25, help save the Labour Party, make our democracy work, and help me heal our country."
She added: "Join us in this battle, let us win the Labour Party back."
Ms Eagle said Labour had been created to "be the voice of working people in Parliament" and to do that "you have to be effective in Parliament".
She said she had "tried" to work with Mr Corbyn for nine months, but added that he "cannot lead in Parliament".
The Labour leadership challenge follows the collapse of union-led peace talks last weekend.
Labour Party members need to have signed up on or before 12 January to be eligible to vote in the leadership contest.
Registered supporter status - which gives people a one-off vote if they pay a fee - will cost £25 this time, instead of £3 in the run-up to last September's vote, which Mr Corbyn won.


Stoke City forward Jon Walters has signed a new two-and-a-half-year contract with the Premier League club.

Walters rejected a previous contract offer from the Potters, who turned down a £1.5m offer from Norwich for the player in August.
But Stoke announced on Saturday the Republic of Ireland international, 32, had now signed a new deal.
Former Ipswich player Walters has scored two goals in seven Premier League appearances this season.
Walters joined Stoke, who started the weekend 14th in the table, from Ipswich in August 2010.


Biffy Clyro have scored the second UK number one album of their career with their seventh release Ellipsis.

The album sold a combined total of 37,000 copies - after sales and streaming data were added together.
The Scottish rock band last hit the top of the album chart with Opposites, released in 2013.
Two of this year's Glastonbury headliners - Adele and Coldplay - remained in this week's top five, at numbers two and four respectively.
Drake's album Views jumped into the top five to hit number three, while ELO's All Over The World held its position at number five.
This week's new entries included Wildflower by The Avalanches at number 10 - the band's first album since their 2000 debut.
Elsewhere, Shura landed at number 13 with her debut album Nothing's Real, ahead of Aphex Twin's Cheetah which debuted at number 14.
On the singles chart, Drake's One Dance achieved its 14th week at number one.
The song is catching up with Bryan Adams's Everything I Do (I Do It For You) - which holds the record for the longest consecutive reign at number one, having spent 16 weeks at the summit in 1991.
Drake's closest competitor this week was Don't Let Me Down by Chainsmokers featuring Daya - which climbed five places to number two. Perfect Strangers by Jonas Blue featuring JP Cooper also climbs significantly, jumping 13 places to number three.
Dancing On My Own by Calum Scott and This Girl by Kunks vs Cookin On Three Burners rounded off the top five.
This week's highest new entry came from Olly Murs - who debuted at number 23 with his latest single, You Don't Know Love.

Policy Commitments and Actions to be taken in consultation with EC/ECB/IMF staff:
1. 2015 supplementary budget and 2016-19 MTFS
Adopt effective as of July 1, 2015 a supplementary 2015 budget and a 2016-19 medium-term fiscal strategy, supported by a sizable and credible package of measures. The new fiscal path is premised on a primary surplus target of (1, 2, 3), and 3.5 percent of GDP in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. The package includes VAT reforms (¶2), other tax policy measures (¶3), pension reforms (¶4), public administration reforms (¶5), reforms addressing shortfalls in tax collection enforcement (¶6), and other parametric measures as specified below.
2. VAT reform
Adopt legislation to reform the VAT system that will be effective as of July 1, 2015. The reform will target a net revenue gain of 1 percent of GDP on an annual basis from parametric changes. The new VAT system will: (i) unify the rates at a standard 23 percent rate, which will include restaurants and catering, and a reduced 13 percent rate for basic food, energy, hotels, and water (excluding sewage), and a super-reduced rate of 6 percent for pharmaceuticals, books, and theater; (ii) streamline exemptions to broaden the base and raise the tax on insurance; and (iii) Eliminate discounts on islands, starting with the islands with higher incomes and which are the most popular tourist destinations, except the most remote ones. This will be completed by end-2016, as appropriate and targeted fiscally neutral measures to compensate those inhabitants that are most in need are determined. The new VAT rates on hotels and islands will be implemented from October 2015.
The increase of the VAT rate described above may be reviewed at the end of 2016, provided that equivalent additional revenues are collected through measures taken against tax evasion and to improve collectability of VAT. Any decision to review and revise shall take place in consultation with the institutions.
3. Fiscal structural measures
Adopt legislation to:
By September 2015, (i) simplify the personal income tax credit schedule; (ii) re-design and integrate into the ITC the solidarity surcharge for income of 2016 to more effectively achieve progressivity in the income tax system; (iii) issue a circular on fines to ensure the comprehensive and consistent application of the TPC; (iv) and other remaining reforms as specified in ¶9 of the IMF Country Report No. 14/151.
On health care, effective as of July 1, 2015, (i) re-establish full INN prescription, without exceptions, (ii) reduce as a first step the price of all off-patent drugs to 50 percent and all generics to 32.5 percent of the patent price, by repealing the grandfathering clause for medicines already in the market in 2012, and (iii)) review and limit the prices of diagnostic tests to bring structural spending in line with claw back targets; and (iv) collect in the full the 2014 clawback for private clinics, diagnostics and pharmaceuticals, and extend their 2015 clawback ceilings to 2016.
Launch the Social Welfare Review under the agreed terms of reference with the technical assistance of the World Bank to target savings of ½ percent of GDP which can help finance a fiscally neutral gradual roll-out of the GMI in January 2016.
Adopt legislation to:
We will consider some compensating measures, in case of fiscal shortfalls: (i) Increase the tax rate to income for rents, for annual incomes below €12,000 to 15% (from 11%) with an additional revenue of €160 million and for annual incomes above €12,000 to 35% (from 33%) with an additional revenue of €40 million; (ii)  the corporate income tax will increase by an additional percentage point (i.e. from 28% to 29%) that will result in additional revenues of €130 million.
4. Pension reform
The Authorities recognise that the pension system is unsustainable and needs fundamental reforms. This is why they will implement in full the 2010 pension reform law (3863/2010), and implement in full or replace/adjust the sustainability factors for supplementary and lump-sum pensions from the 2012 reform as a part of the new pension reform in October 2015 to achieve equivalent savings and take further steps to improve the pension system.
Effective from July 1, 2015 the authorities will phase-in reforms that would deliver estimated permanent savings of ¼-½ percent of GDP in 2015 and 1 percent of GDP on a full year basis in 2016 and thereafter by adopting legislation to:
Moreover, in order to restore the sustainability of the pension system, the authorities will by 31 October 2015, legislate further reforms to take effect from 1 January  2016; (i) specific design and parametric improvements to establish a closer link between contributions and benefits; (ii) broaden and modernize the contribution and pension base for all self-employed, including by switching from notional to actual income, subject to minimum required contribution rules; (iii) revise and rationalize all different systems of basic, guaranteed contributory and means tested pension components, taking into account incentives to work and contribute; (iv) the main elements of a comprehensive SSFs consolidation, including any remaining harmonization of contribution and benefit payment rules and procedures across all funds; (v) abolish all nuisance charges financing pensions and offset by reducing benefits or increasing contributions in specific funds to take effect from 31 October 2015; and (vi) harmonize pension benefit rules of the agricultural fund (OGA) with the rest of the pension system in a pro rata manner, unless OGA is merged into other funds. The consolidation of social insurance funds will take place by end 2017. In 2015, the process will be activated through legislation to consolidate the social insurance funds under a single entity and the operational consolidation will have been completed by 31 December 2016. Further reductions in the operating costs and a more effective management of fund resources including improved balancing of needs between better-off and poorer-off funds will be actively encouraged.
The authorities will adopt legislation to fully offset the fiscal effects of the implementation of court rulings on the 2012 pension reform.
In parallel to the reform of the pension system, a Social Welfare Review will be carried out to ensure fairness of the various reforms.
The institutions are prepared to take into account other parametric measures within the pension system of equivalent effect to replace some of the measures mentioned above, taking into account their impact on growth, and provided that such measures are presented to the institutions during the design phase and are sufficiently concrete and quantifiable, and in the absence of this the default option is what is specified above.
5. Public Administration, Justice and Anti Corruption
Adopt legislation to:
Moreover, in collaboration with the OECD, the Authorities will:
6. Tax administration
Take the following actions to:
7. Financial sector
Adopt: (i) amendments to the corporate and household insolvency laws including to cover all debtors and bring the corporate insolvency law in line with the OCW law; (ii) amendments to the household insolvency law to introduce a mechanism to separate strategic defaulters from good faith debtors as well as simplify and strengthen the procedures and introduce measures to address the large backlog of cases; (iii) amendments to improve immediately the judicial framework for corporate and household insolvency matters; (iv) legislation to establish a regulated profession of insolvency administrators, not restricted to any specific profession and in line with good cross-country experience; (v) a comprehensive strategy for the financial system: this strategy will build on the strategy document from 2013, taking into account the new environment and conditions of the financial system and with a view of returning the banks in private ownership by attracting international strategic investors and to achieve a sustainable funding model over the medium term; and (vi) a holistic NPL resolution strategy, prepared with the help of a strategic consultant.
8. Labour market
Launch a consultation process to review the whole range of existing labour market arrangements, taking into account best practices elsewhere in Europe. Further input to the consultation process described above will be provided by international organisations, including the ILO. The organization and timelines shall be drawn up in consultation with the institutions. In this context, legislation on a new system of collective bargaining should be ready by Q4 2015. The authorities will take actions to fight undeclared work in order to strengthen the competitiveness of legal companies and protect workers as well as tax and social security revenues.
9. Product market
Adopt legislation to:
On electricity markets, the authorities will reform the capacity payments system and other electricity market rules to avoid that some plants are forced to operate below their variable cost, and to prevent the netting of the arrears between PPC and market operator; set PPC tariffs based on costs, including replacement of the 20% discount for HV users with cost based tariffs; and notify NOME products to the European Commission. The authorities will also continue the implementation of the roadmap to the EU target model prepare a new framework for the support of renewable energies and for the implementation of energy efficiency and review energy taxation; the authorities will strengthen the electricity regulator's financial and operational independence;
10. Privatization


A "rogue marker" leaked a test the day before it was taken on Tuesday by children aged 10 and 11 in England, the Department for Education has said.

The Sats answers had been mistakenly published on Monday on a password-protected website for test markers, schools minister Nick Gibb told MPs.
He said an individual then tried to leak them to a journalist but it appeared they had not become public.
The DfE blamed an "active campaign" to "undermine these tests".
The test was valid and had gone ahead as planned, Mr Gibb told MPs in response to an urgent question on the matter.
He said the spelling, punctuation and grammar (SPAG) test had been "mistakenly uploaded" by the test supplier, Pearson, onto a secure website, and that an individual with access to the site had then leaked the test to the media.
Mr Gibb said it was a "serious breach" but that "teachers and parents should have confidence in the test."
But shadow schools minister Nic Dakin, who posed the urgent question, said the matter was "just the latest in a sorry line of chaos in primary assessment".
The SPAG test was taken by 600,000 children in their final year of state primary school in England on Tuesday morning.
It is the second time in three weeks a primary school exam has been published in advance.
The government was forced to scrap a test for half a million children aged six and seven after it emerged that it had been posted with practice materials three months early.
Pearson apologised for this week's problem, which it said it was investigating.
In a statement the company said: "A small number of markers accessed the paper, although as contracted markers they are bound by confidentiality and have a duty not to share any papers.
"We do not have any evidence that the content of the paper has been compromised."
Pearson's chief executive John Fallon said the company believed 102 markers had seen the paper in the four hours it was available.
Mr Fallon told the BBC the information should have been uploaded to its secure website on Tuesday evening for markers to use, but was instead mistakenly uploaded on Monday evening.
"Unfortunately, in this case we have made a mistake which we are very sorry for," he said.
The DfE said while the paper had not been put into the public domain, it appeared a "rogue marker" had then leaked the paper to the Guardian newspaper.
"We are aware that Pearson, the external marking supplier responsible for Key Stage 2 tests, published the Key Stage 2 grammar, punctuation and spelling test on its secure marker site for a short period of time," said a DfE spokesman.
"The site can only be accessed by Pearson's approved markers, all of whom are under secure contract. Any distribution of materials constitutes a clear breach of that contract."
Mr Gibb said the paper was still valid, despite the publication and said an investigation was under way.

This has been an accident-prone year for primary school tests - and the amount of attention given to this latest leak is a reflection of a cumulative build-up of mistakes and controversy.
The English test was uploaded in error on to a website for test markers - who are mostly likely to be teachers - and then it's claimed a "rogue marker" among them tried to leak it further.
It's not often that primary school tests get associated with sabotage, but the Department for Education linked this to a campaign to undermine the tests.
Teachers' unions - long-term opponents of Sats tests - would say the government has already been doing a good job of that on its own.
This is the third test problem so far this year. A previous test for seven year olds was ditched when questions were accidentally published online.
And the baseline tests, intended for the reception calls, were called off when a pilot study showed the results were unreliable.
This has been in addition to a parents' protest and complaints that tougher tests are so difficult that even ministers struggle to answer them. Not to mention the U-turn on academies.
Ministers will feel themselves unlucky. But the Labour opposition will claim that the government's education team is losing its credibility.
Labour's shadow education secretary Lucy Powell said the leak was a further "body blow to parent and teacher confidence" in how the primary testing system was being run.
Speaking on Radio 4's World at One programme she said the matter was "not an isolated incident".
"The government has woefully mismanaged and caused absolute chaos and confusion in primary assessment and it's a travesty for those kids, it really is."
Ms Powell has now written to Education Secretary Nicky Morgan, saying there is "no confidence" among parents, teachers and school leaders in this year's primary assessments.
The letter calls on Mrs Morgan to offer a guarantee that primary schools will not be forced to become an academy on the basis of the tests.
Christine Blower, general secretary of the NUT, said the tests should be scrapped for this year.
"We didn't like the tests in the first place, but the fact is the tests are compromised and it just adds to the general sense of chaos, about not just the curriculum but in particular about assessment this year."
The new tests have been drawn up to assess children's grasp of the recently-introduced primary school national curriculum, which is widely considered to be harder than the previous one.
The more challenging tests have been controversial - with parents claiming they make children stressed and anxious.
Almost 50,000 parents have signed a petition calling for a boycott of primary school tests and some kept their children off school on 3 May in protest.
The government has said it is determined to raise standards and the tests reflect the "more rigorous curriculum", but that they should not cause pupils stress.
The debacle follows a government climbdown last week on plans to force all schools to become academies.


"These last few years I haven't had as much energy, because I've been standing up for nearly 40 years, running this business," says Betty Kong.

Ms Kong and her husband Ha Wai Kay had the same routine every day. They would wake up before dawn and journey to their roast meat shop to start the day's cooking.
Drawing on a secret recipe inherited from his father, Mr Ha would be in the kitchen taking care of roasting the pork and duck, while his wife would prepare the front of house.
From around 11am, customers would start pouring into their modest eatery and would keep coming until closing time after sunset.
Mr Ha started out roasting meat in a small stall in Singapore's Chinatown, but over time the business grew and they moved to a small shop, naming the Kay Lee Roast Meat Joint.
In 2012, at almost 70 years old they decided it was time to retire. But it was only two years later that their fortunes suddenly changed.
In October, a Singapore conglomerate, Aztech, paid $3m (4m Singapore dollars) for their business. And it was largely because of their secret roast meat recipe.
Aztech's founder Michael Mun had tried Kay Lee's roast meat and decided that if he liked it so much then there was a good chance many more people would too.
"We usually have management meetings over lunches," says Michael's son Jeremy, vice president of marketing at Aztech, "and one of the senior managers mentioned this shop was up for sale."
Hoping it was onto a winner, Aztech bought Kay Lee Roast Meat Joint.
Besides the family recipe, the value of the land the roast meat shop was sitting on was also important. Aztech offered the couple $370,000 more than their original asking price because land prices had risen significantly during the intervening period.
Aztech which is also a family business specialises in electronics, and LED lighting. More recently its moved into food distribution and says it has big plans for the roast meat business.
There are now two outlets for the Kay Lee Roast Meat brand. Aztech has also invested in a new centralised kitchen, where all the cooking is done before the food is transported to the various outlets.
As part of the sale agreement, Mr Ha and his wife remain temporarily employed by Aztech, to train the new staff on ways to perfect their family recipe.
Singaporeans love their food. They can spend hours debating on the best places on the island to go to for their favourite dishes, ranging from the spiciest laksa (noodles in coconut broth), to the tastiest of chilli crabs.
Many families dine out at least once a week, often at small restaurants that focus largely on selling staple food dishes.
Aztech's purchase of Kay Lee Roast Meat Joint has raised the hopes of others in the food industry yearning for a break.
At The Bedok Marketplace, a newly renovated hawker centre to the east of Singapore there is a small stall called  Uncle Chicken Rice, operated by a second-generation food business owner Niven Leong.
His prized chicken rice recipe was also handed down from his father, who started out with a small food stall in 1971 in one of Singapore's residential estates.
Mr Leong's family recipe is on the market as well, for around $32,000. It is a price tag includes training and a handover process.
He is pinning his hopes on finding a passionate, enthusiastic and energetic "hawkerpreneur" (the local term given to an entrepreneur working in one of Singapore's many hawker centres) to take over the business.
"I think if they can see the potential in our chicken rice my job is done - my father's legacy can carry on," says Mr Leong.
He says that he and his wife do not have children. "We don't have someone to pass this on to and it would be a great pity if this recipe is gone."
Carrying on this kind of family legacy is easier said than done.  Generally, Singapore's younger generation is not keen to spend long hours cooking over a hot stove for little financial reward, when there's money to be made elsewhere.
Yet Mr Leong is confident that he has one of Singapore's best chicken rice recipes and remains optimistic that one day someone will come along who shares his passion.
Until that day he says he'll keep selling his chicken rice seven days a week, just as his father did before him.
As for Betty Kong and Ha Wai Kay, they are looking forward to retiring - as soon as they've passed on all their trade secrets to Kay Lee Roast Meat Joint's new owners.

Venus Williams won her 47th WTA singles title as opponent Garbine Muguruza pulled out of the Wuhan Open final with an ankle injury when trailing 6-3 3-0.

Both players came into the tournament less than fully fit, with Williams, 35, struggling with a thigh problem.
The American, a seven-time Grand Slam champion, used her experience to good effect in the first set of the final.
She broke Wimbledon finalist Muguruza twice in the second set before the 21-year-old Spaniard withdrew.
"I'm very sorry to have had to retire, but sometimes the body just doesn't recover," said Muguruza.
Williams, who was taken to three sets by Britain's Johanna Konta in the quarter-finals and Italian Roberto Vinci in the semi-finals, made a slow start but her superior hitting helped her go 4-2 up.
Both players exchanged breaks of serve before world number 25 Williams closed out the set.
Muguruza's movement was hampered by the start of the second set and errors began to creep into her game before she retired.
Meanwhile, Britain's Heather Watson was beaten 6-3 6-4 in the second round of qualifying for the China Open by Ukraine's Kateryna Bondarenko.


The Prince of Wales has raised the issue of jailed blogger Raif Badawi during his first meeting with Saudi Arabia's new king.

Prince Charles had been urged by human rights campaigners to discuss the case during his visit.
Saudi blogger Mr Badawi was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes for "insulting Islam".
The detail of what was said during the private talk between the prince and King Salman has not been revealed.
Sir William Patey, a former ambassador to Saudi Arabia, earlier told the BBC that Prince Charles had a way of raising human rights issues that did not make the Saudis "bristle".
The prince also met Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Muqrin, along with senior government figures.
He has also visited Jordan and Kuwait so far during his six-day Middle East tour.
Prince Charles was among a number of world leaders who travelled to the Saudi capital, Riyadh, last month to pay his respects following the death of the nation's King Abdullah, aged 90.
King Abdullah was succeeded by his 79-year-old half-brother, Salman.
Amnesty International had urged Prince Charles to raise the case of Mr Badawi during his latest visit, calling on him to "pass on a few well chosen words" to the new Saudi king.
Mr Badawi had been sentenced to receive 1,000 lashes over 20 weeks - 50 lashes a week - and was given the first round on 9 January.
However, his subsequent floggings have been postponed.
The atmosphere over a lavish lunch at King Salman's palace in Riyadh was friendly, according to British officials.
It was during this lunch and the private discussions Prince Charles had with the king that Charles raised the question of jailed blogger Raif Badawi.
Charles enjoys a high level of respect among the ruling royal family of Saudi Arabia.
He's known them for a long time and they unquestionably feel more comfortable dealing with a fellow royal than what to them would be a "mere" elected politician.
That, and Charles' long-standing engagement with Islam, means that they will take an intervention on a sensitive issue from him without feeling that they're being lectured.
Of course it's one thing to raise the issue but it's quite another to persuade the Saudis to take any notice.
No official reason has been given, but human rights groups say Mr Badawi was reported to be physically unfit to face the penalty after receiving the first flogging.
Kate Allen, Amnesty International UK director, said Prince Charles' "diplomatic intercession" could help secure his freedom.
During the six-day tour, Prince Charles has already held talks with Jordan's King Abdullah and met Christian refugees from Iraq at the British ambassador's residence in Amman, the Jordanian capital.
He also visited a refugee camp near the Jordanian border with war-torn Syria.
He also held talks with the Emir of Kuwait before taking part in a sunset ceremony on the warship HMS Dauntless, which is on a routine deployment in Kuwait.
The Prince of Wales is also due to visit Qatar and the United Arab Emirates before returning home.


Skateboarding, surfing and climbing are among five new sports confirmed for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

Karate and baseball/softball have also been added by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
The five extra sports, which do not replace any of the 28 already on the Tokyo schedule, will include 18 events and involve hundreds of athletes.
Baseball and softball featured separately between 1992 and 2008, but made a joint bid to be readmitted.
None of the other sports have been included before, though surf lifesaving was a demonstration sport at the Paris Games in 1900.
The five sports were all recommended by Tokyo organisers in July and unanimously backed by the executive board of the IOC, which subsequently described them as "a dynamic and exciting package" ahead of this final confirmation at the 129th IOC session on Wednesday.
The IOC said it hopes the "innovative" move will draw in new audiences by focusing inclusions on youth-oriented sports.
"We want to take sport to the youth," said IOC president Thomas Bach.
"With the many options that young people have, we cannot expect any more that they will come automatically to us. We have to go to them."
Tokyo 2020 president Yoshiro Mori added: "The inclusion of the package of new sports will afford young athletes the chance of a lifetime to realise their dreams of competing in the Olympic Games - the world's greatest sporting stage - and inspire them to achieve their best, both in sport and in life."
The unanimous decision to confirm the five new sports was made two days before the opening ceremony of the 2016 Rio Games.
It is a combined bid of men's baseball and women's softball as both sports are hugely popular in Japan. Softball is a modified form of baseball with seven innings instead of nine, as well as underarm bowling.
Liam Carroll of the British Baseball Federation said: "I'm excited that current and future players can aspire to represent our country in the Olympics, which fits within Great Britain Baseball's mission to inspire, develop and perform."
Having originated in Japan, karate has never been contested at the Olympics. Judo, its fellow home-grown martial art, first joined in 1964, when Tokyo last hosted the Olympics, and has been included from 1972 onwards. The key difference is that judo is a grappling sport derived from jujitsu while karate is a striking, combat martial art.
"There couldn't be a better place (than Tokyo) to begin our Olympic adventure. This will be a 'fiesta' for the entire karate world," World Karate Federation president Antonio Espinos said.
Street and park skateboarding have been included ahead of other roller sports including roller hockey, speed skating and artistic skating. Its inclusion has been questioned by some as skateboarding does not have a world championship event. But the International Skateboarding Federation president Gary Ream said: `I've always believed that if skateboarding was properly protected and supported, its appearance on the Olympic stage could change the world.''
The inclusion is seen as a milestone for the sport given its popularity among young people. The International Surfing Association president Fernando Aguerre said: "Surfing embodies a cool, playful lifestyle that would add a completely new element to the programme, helping the Games reach new fans."
Last year, sport climbing was chosen by the IOC as a demonstration sport at the Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China. Unlike most Olympic sports, sport climbing competitions see athletes support - even help - their opponents in finishing the climb.
It is seen as the "most innovative" of the new sports by the IOC, involving participants scaling permanent anchors, like bolts, fixed to the rock. According to the International Federation of Sport Climbing, more than 140 countries have climbing walls, with 35 million climbers around the world.
Nick Colton, deputy chief officer at the British Mountaineering Council, added: "Climbing represents the only basic human movement not yet included in the Olympic Games; it brings the missing vertical dimension to the world's most prestigious sporting event."

We are now halfway through the football transfer window, where clubs buy and sell players, and one country has got everybody talking.

17 January 2017 Last updated at 09:26 GMT
China has seen a huge rise in the popularity of football in the country in recent years.
This means many Chinese managers are looking for big name players to add to their teams.
Ex-Manchester City player Carlos Tevez has recently been signed by Chinese team Shanghai Shenhua for a whopping Â£71.6 million!
But a change to the rules means that Chinese Super League clubs will only be allowed to play three non-Chinese players per game in their next season - which begins in March.
Martin's been finding out more about this new football powerhouse...


Radamel Falcao has been omitted from Chelsea's 25-man squad for the Champions League knock-out stages.

The Colombia international, who has not played since October following a thigh injury, has been replaced in the squad by new loan signing Alexandre Pato.
The 29-year old has made just one Premier League start since signing on a season-long from Monaco last July.
Former AC Milan forward Pato, 26, signed for Chelsea last week on a six-month loan from Corinthians.
However, the Brazil international has not featured since November as he looks to regain full fitness following a series of injuries.
Chelsea interim boss Guus Hiddink has also included new signing Matt Miazga in both his Champions League and Premier League squad lists for the second half of the season.
The United States defender, 20, joined Chelsea on a four-and-a-half-year contract from New York Red Bulls last week.
Falcao, who was linked with a deadline day move to former club Atletico Madrid, has been named in Chelsea's 25-man Premier League squad.
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini revealed on Monday that Nigerian forward Kelechi Iheanacho, 19, will replace Samir Nasri in City's 25-man Champions League squad.
France international midfielder Nasri, 28, is set for at least another two months on the sidelines following a hamstring injury and tendon surgery in November.
Clubs featuring in the knock-out stages of the Champions League were required to supply European football's governing body Uefa with their updated squad lists by Tuesday night, but Arsenal have yet to publicly announce any changes to their 25-man squad.
The Gunners are expected to make one change, with new midfield signing Mohamed Elneny, 23, replacing defender Mathieu Debuchy, 30, who has joined Ligue 1 side Bordeaux on loan until the end of the season.


Zimbabwe's state-owned airline has laid off 200 workers, roughly half of its staff, with immediate effect.

The job losses are part of a turnaround strategy to bring struggling Air Zimbabwe back to profitability from a $300m (Â£230m) debt.
Last month the EU banned it from using its airspace, citing safety concerns.
There have been major changes at the national airline since President Robert Mugabe's son-in-law took over as chief operating officer last year.
"We were overstaffed by a lot and we are also trying to weed out people without the right qualifications," the airline's chairwoman Chipo Dyanda said on Wednesday.
"The retrenchment is meant to give space to the airline so that we can redeploy the money saved back into the company."
An Air Zimbabwe spokesperson told state media that management has also been trimmed from 28 to just 12 and the finance department from 36 to 17.
The airline has struggled to keep afloat over the last decade and plans to carry out a restructuring exercise that will include retraining for all staff, including top management.
Unconfirmed reports say that a name change is also in the pipeline - a move many believe is an attempt to ring-fence the airline's debt and reduce the threat of creditors seizing the planes.
The BBC's Shingai Nyoka in Harare says that President Mugabe is a frequent flier on the airline, often leasing out the largest plane for state visits and private medical visits to the Far East.
In May, President Mugabe said that Zimbabwe was the most-highly developed country in Africa after South Africa. He denied that the country was in a fragile state.
Zimbabwe has been struggling to pay its civil servants recently and is ranked 24th on the UNDP's Human Development Index for Africa.


Lincoln City goalkeeper Paul Farman has signed a two-year deal with the club.

Farman, 27, who joined from Gateshead in 2012, made 232 appearances in two spells but was out of contract following the end of the season.
He kept 22 clean sheets during Lincoln's National League title winning campaign and their impressive run to the FA Cup quarter-finals.
Manager Danny Cowley acted quickly to renew his contract, which will run until the summer of 2019.


Hosni Mubarak has stepped down as president of Egypt, after weeks of protest in Cairo and other cities.

The news was greeted with a huge outburst of joy and celebration by thousands in Cairo's Tahrir Square - the heart of the demonstrations.
Mr Mubarak ruled for 30 years, suppressing dissent and protest, and jailing opponents.
US President Barack Obama said that Egypt must now move to civilian and democratic rule.
This was not the end but the beginning and there were difficult days ahead, the US president added, but he was confident the people could find the answers.
"The people of Egypt have spoken, their voices have been heard," Mr Obama said. "Egypt will never be the same again."
"They have made it clear that nothing less than genuine democracy will carry the day."

Mubarak resigns: World reaction
Announcing Mr Mubarak's resignation, Vice-President Omar Suleiman said the president had handed power to the army.
Mr Suleiman said on state TV that the high command of the armed forces had taken over.
"In the name of God the merciful, the compassionate, citizens, during these very difficult circumstances Egypt is going through, President Hosni Mubarak has decided to step down from the office of president of the republic and has charged the high council of the armed forces to administer the affairs of the country," he said.
"May God help everybody."
Later an army officer read out a statement paying tribute to Mr Mubarak for "what he has given" to Egypt but acknowledging popular power.
"There is no legitimacy other than that of the people," the statement said.
The military high command is headed by Defence Minister Mohamed Hussein Tantawi.
US diplomatic cables published by Wikileaks described Field Marshal Tantawi as "aged and change-resistant", but committed to avoiding another war with Israel.
Mr Mubarak has already left Cairo and is in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh where he has a residence, officials say.
In Cairo, thousands of people gathered outside the presidential palace, in Tahrir Square and at state TV.
They came out in anger following an address by Mr Mubarak on Thursday. He had been expected to announce his resignation but stopped short of stepping down, instead transferring most powers to Mr Suleiman.
"The people have brought down the regime," they chanted in reaction to the news of his eventual resignation less than 24 hours later.
Opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei said: "This is the greatest day of my life."
"You cannot comprehend the amount of joy and happiness of every Egyptian at the restoration of our humanity and our freedom."
The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's banned Islamist opposition movement, paid tribute to the army for keeping its promises.
"I salute the Egyptian people and the martyrs. This is the day of victory for the Egyptian people. The main goal of the revolution has been achieved," said the Brotherhood's former parliamentary leader, Mohamed el-Katatni.

It is hard to know where to look as you walk through central Cairo.  Everyone in this mega-city has spilled out onto the streets to party.
Soldiers lift small, smiling children onto their tanks to pose for photos, whole families are flying flags and wearing matching hats in red, white and black as they walk along the Corniche by the Nile, and motorcyclists precariously weave their way through the crowds yelling "Egypt, Egypt".
The excited din from Tahrir Square, the scene of the massive protests against President Mubarak that began on 25 January, can be heard from miles off.  It is packed with huge crowds.
The demonstrators' barricades that had controlled entry to the square have been dismantled, and security checkpoints at which people showed identification and had their bags searched have all gone.
Some people are already packing up their tents in the campsite nearby.  They have achieved what they set out to do.
Day of glory for Tahrir Square protesters
Ayman Nour, Mr Mubarak's rival for the presidency in 2005, described it as the greatest day in Egypt's history.
"This nation has been born again. These people have been born again, and this is a new Egypt," he told al-Jazeera TV.
Meanwhile Amr Moussa, a former Egyptian foreign minister, announced that he would leave his post as secretary general of the Arab League "within weeks", the Egyptian news agency Mena reported. He hinted that he might stand for president.
The BBC's Jon Leyne in Cairo said the announcement caught everyone by surprise: all over the city, drivers honked their horns and people fired guns into the air.
But the army takeover looks very much like a military coup, our correspondent adds.
The constitution has been breached, he says, because officially it should be the speaker of parliament who takes over, not the army leadership.
There was jubilation throughout the Middle East and North Africa, including in Tunisia, where people overthrew their own president last month.
For the Arab League, Mr Moussa said events in Egypt presented an opportunity to build a national consensus.
Meanwhile, Iran described the recent events as a "great victory".
A senior Israeli official expressed the hope that Mr Mubarak's departure would "bring no change to its peaceful relations with Cairo".
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said he respected the "difficult decision" taken in the people's interests, and called for an "orderly and peaceful transition".
European Union leaders reacted positively to the news of Mr Mubarak's resignation.
Foreign policy chief Baroness Ashton said the EU "respected" the decision.
"It is important now that the dialogue is accelerated leading to a broad-based government which will respect the aspirations of, and deliver stability for, the Egyptian people," she said.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron said this was a "really precious moment of opportunity to have a government that can bring the people together", and called for a "move to civilian and democratic rule".
German Chancellor Angela Merkel welcomed the "historic change" in Egypt.
US Vice-President Joe Biden said Egypt had reached a pivotal moment in history.
The anti-government protests that began on 25 January were triggered by widespread unrest in Egypt over unemployment, poverty and corruption.
They followed a popular uprising in Tunisia which brought about the downfall of President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali.


Rio Olympics organisers said they were "not disappointed" by the number of empty seats on show as the athletics events began in the Estadio Olimpico.

They claimed 58% of available tickets for the first session were sold, and 65% for the evening session.
Ticket prices and VIPs not filling their allocations have been cited as reasons for empty seats.
"Without heroes and local athletes the public take longer to fall in love," said Rio 2016 spokesman Mario Andrada.
"But one of the legacies of the Games will be to show Brazilians how spectacular these other sports can be and there will be no problem when Usain Bolt competes on Sunday."
Jamaica's Bolt, 29, is attempting to win the 'treble treble' of 100m, 200m and 4x100m golds at three successive Olympics.
Andrada said an additional problem in Rio is ticket-holders only wanting see one particular contest in a long session.
The athletics began on Friday with a world record for Ethiopia's Almaz Ayana in the women's 10,000m, and Britain's Jessica Ennis-Hill opening her defence of the heptathlon title she won in London.
However, media outnumbered fans at the start of competition, and by lunchtime the stadium was barely a quarter full.
For the start of the evening session, which featured the likes of Jamaica's two-time Olympic 100m champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, the stadium was less than a fifth full.
Rio 2016's organising committee has been criticised for the ticket-pricing structure, considering the country is in the midst of an economic recession.
It has denied high ticket prices have put Brazilian fans off, while the International Olympic Committee said prices offered to overseas fans were not too high.
Velodrome: There were a few empty seats at the start of the second day of track cycling, but the venue was soon full and numerous Union Flags on display hinted at a big British presence.
Tennis Centre: The crowd for Andy Murray's match was disappointing but Rafael Nadal's quarter-final win against Brazil's Thomaz Bellucci generated the best atmosphere of the week from an almost full stadium.
Equestrian Centre: The team dressage final failed to attract a large crowd to Deodoro, with the centre less than half full all day.
Carioca Arena 3: It was a similar story for day seven of the fencing competitions, where the men's team final was poorly attended.
Shooting Centre: One of the few places to buck the trend was the Olympic Shooting Centre, where the men's 50m rifle prone final and women's skeet contest saw the stands almost full.
Lagoa Stadium: Rowing also drew a large crowd as a number of medals were decided, with a large British presence noticeable.
Reserva de Marapendi: Official attendance figures were not immediately available for day two, but more than 6,000 spectators watched golf's return to the Olympics on Thursday and Craig Connelly, caddie for Martin Kaymer, wrote on Twitter: "Crowds here in Rio for the golf have been fantastic. Hope it looks good on TV!"
Future Arena: Handball has proven a popular attraction for athletes from other sports as well as spectators, with the stadium about 85% full for Spain's clash against Romania in the women's competition.

Prime Minister David Cameron has told Jeremy Corbyn to resign as Labour leader, claiming it is not in the national interest for him to continue.

During Prime Minister's Questions, the PM criticised Mr Corbyn's efforts during the EU referendum, telling him: "For heaven's sake man, go."
A challenge to Mr Corbyn's Labour leadership is expected following a no-confidence vote by MPs.
The Labour leader says quitting would betray all the members that back him.
Allies of Mr Corbyn, who has strong support among the party's members, have called on his critics to trigger a formal leadership contest.
Mr Corbyn's predecessor, Ed Miliband, has joined calls for him to quit, telling BBC Radio 4's The World at One his position was "untenable".
But former London mayor Ken Livingstone said Mr Corbyn would win any leadership contest and that people would be "appalled" at MPs trying to force out a leader elected by such a large margin.
The revolt among Labour MPs was triggered by the UK's vote to leave the European Union, after which Mr Cameron announced his resignation.
The PM said Mr Corbyn should "reflect on" his role in the campaign, adding: "He said he put his back into it, I would hate to see him when he wasn't trying."
Mr Corbyn, who like Mr Cameron had called for a Remain vote, pressed the PM on the economic uncertainty in the aftermath of the Brexit vote, asking for reassurances about investment and calling for the government to relax its fiscal rules and hold off on further austerity measures.
"Our country is divided, so we must heal that division," he said.
"Our economy is fragile so we must begin to rebuild it.
"Our duty now is to move forward in a calm and conciliatory manner to build a new relationship with Europe and build a Britain that works for everyone in every part of this country."
The Labour leader also raised the reported rise in racist abuse following the vote to leave, calling for extra resources for communities targeted.
Mr Cameron condemned the attacks, pledging to "drive this appalling hate crime out of our country".
On the economy, the PM said there would be "some very choppy waters ahead", and targeted Mr Corbyn's leadership at the end of their exchanges.
"It might be in my party's interest for him to sit there, it's not in the national interest and I would say, for heaven's sake man, go," he said.
Organisers of a planned rally by Mr Corbyn's supporters on Wednesday night say it has been postponed owing to "too much demand".
A spokesman for the Momentum group said it was trying to secure a bigger venue for an event later in the week and that regional rallies would still go ahead.
Two possible candidates to run for the leadership are the party's deputy leader Tom Watson and ex-shadow business secretary Angela Eagle.
Mr Corbyn's supporters say he would automatically be on the ballot paper if there is a leadership contest, although his critics dispute this.


England's batsmen were not good enough during the World Twenty20 win against Afghanistan, according to Eoin Morgan.

England were reduced to 42-4 and 57-6 by the only side outside Test cricket left in the tournament, but recovered to post 142-7 and win by 15 runs.
"The execution of what we were trying to do wasn't good enough today," captain Morgan told BBC Sport.
"We weren't at our best, which allowed Afghanistan in to the game. Ultimately we did enough to win."
England chased 230 to beat South Africa in their previous game, but were on the verge of humiliation against Afghanistan after losing five wickets for 15 runs, including three in an over.
They were rescued by Moeen Ali and David Willey, who shared an unbroken stand of 57 in 33 balls, before Afghanistan were restricted to 127-9.
"Conditions change and scores come down," added Morgan. "You have to show experience and composure, which Moeen Ali and David Willey did to get us up to a defendable total.
"The depth of out batting is one of our strongest suits. We're grateful that we bat deep, but we want the bulk of the responsibility falling on the top six or seven."
England, World T20 winners in 2010, will definitely reach the semi-finals if they beat Sri Lanka on Saturday and South Africa lose one of their final two games.
"There's an incredible amount of talent in this side," said Morgan. "Once we get the right mindset and adapt to conditions, we'll be a strong side."

Swinton Insurance expects to cut up to 900 jobs and has put 84 branches and a Norwich call centre under review.

Swinton, which employs 3,000 people across the UK, said where possible, affected staff will be deployed into other parts of the business.
The insurance broker, which has more branches than any of its rivals, blamed business switching to the internet.
It said 90% of its customers now buy insurance over the phone or through digital channels.
The 900 roles will be cut by the end of the year.
Gilles Normand, chief executive of Swinton, said: "We are reshaping our distribution model to ensure that we continue to meet the changing needs of our customers in an effective and efficient way.
"This change is difficult for all colleagues, especially those who are directly impacted by the proposals, but is vital if we are to remain competitive in a challenging insurance market."


There were disturbances in the public gallery of Belfast Crown Court on Friday as two men appeared in the dock charged with a double murder

The bodies of Finbar McGrillen, 42, and Caron Smyth, 40, were found in a flat at Ravenhill Court in east Belfast on 13 December 2013.
Shaun Patrick Joseph Hegarty, 34 and Ciaran Nugent, 33, are accused of the murder.
A number of women were removed from the court on Friday as trouble flared.
It began even before the two accused appeared in the dock, and resulted in a punch being thrown
The court heard that a trial is due to last up to four weeks and has been earmarked to take place next May. The case is due to be reviewed again at the end of January.
As Mr Hegarty, formerly of Grainne House in the New Lodge area of north Belfast, and Mr Nugent from the Falls Road, in west Belfast, were being led from the dock two groups of women in the public gallery became embroiled in a verbal altercation.
One woman was overheard saying to another female "what goes around comes around, remember that".


A lorry driver who killed a motorcyclist when distracted by a phone call has been jailed for five years.

Roy Woods, 57, had been making and receiving calls "throughout the day" before the crash in Leckford on 13 April last year, a court heard.
He had been on the phone for eight minutes when he hit 62-year-old Alan Couper, who died at the scene.
Woods, from Tidworth, admitted causing death by dangerous driving and was sentenced at Winchester Crown Court.
He was also disqualified from driving for seven-and-a-half years.
Woods had been legally using his phone hands-free at the time of the crash on Stockbridge Road, Hampshire Police said.
However, the content of the call prevented him from taking the necessary actions to avoid the crash, the force said.
After the sentencing, senior investigating officer Richard Thorpe said: "This is a tragic loss of life that could have so easily been avoided and our thoughts are with the family of Mr Couper today."
In a statement read out in court, Mr Couper's widow Helen said: "I'm lost beyond belief. My lovely husband is gone from my sight forever and never coming back to me or his children.
"I struggle with the depth of loss, I'm numb throughout my body and my face. I have lost the man who loved me totally as I was, I miss that deepness of affection and connection."
Mr Couper's eldest daughter Claire told the court he was her "legend, hero and best friend".
The court heard that on 13 April last year Mr Couper, from Southampton, was riding his motorbike with friend Robert Powell.
Woods had been working all day driving a 32-tonne HGV and had been on his phone for more than an hour in total.
The court heard the road had a 50mph limit and Woods had been driving at the speed limit, but this was too fast when approaching a stopped vehicle like Mr Couper's motorcycle.
