Well, we have the £60 million already on the table; half of which is a commercial loan, the other half of which is in the form of grant money. We are still looking at whether there is more we could do on business rates. It is right to say that the initial advice was that we could offer €200,000 over three years. We are examining that once again to see whether there is a way that we can assist further. But nevertheless, the amount of money that’s on the table represents roughly four years’ worth of business rates for Tata in any event, and that money will be on the table for any new buyer.
