Well, I’m not in a position to give you chapter and verse of the strategy for BA at the site; I think it’s a matter for them to do that, as a corporate entity. And that’s what I said, when I said the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure would keep the Assembly informed—as it’s right and proper for the Assembly to know what the plan is, and as it’s announced to the workforce and so on, we will keep the Assembly informed of that. So, I’m not in a position today to give you chapter and verse about the intricacies of the plan, but I will say that we have been working very closely with the company, that we are fully involved, and that we have every hope for the future of the site and that it will be put on a sustainable footing for the foreseeable future, and that’s what we all want. I will reiterate my sympathy for staff facing redundancy. We have every sympathy with people whose lives are affected in that way—it’s a terrible thing for anybody to face—but I do not want anybody to go away today with the downbeat notion that that means that there is some structural uncertainty or anything else in BA. That’s very much not the message we want to give off.

In terms of the conversation about training, we have been assisting BAMCE with training in the way that we assist many of our anchor and regionally important companies, and so on. So, we have a training programme that we assist them with—we assist them with apprentices, for example, and other training needs. That’s very much part of the structured relationship between the Government and the company, and that’s continuing. I’ve no reason to feel that that’s anything other than the success story that I’ve reported in this Chamber a number of times in terms of the apprentices, and so on. So, there’s no reason to be alarmed there. The process needs to be gone through. We need to be hopeful that we can secure voluntary redundancies, that there won’t be any need for people who don’t want to go to go, and, as I say, our staff and the Jobcentre Plus staff are on hand to pick up individuals and ensure that their individual circumstances and needs are met, and it’s very much that individual service that we offer for staff in this situation.

So, again, I’ll just reiterate that we have no reason to think that there’s any fundamental structural problem with this, that there’s no reason for alarm for the rest of the staff there, that we have a five-year plan in train and that we have a good relationship with the company, which we have every reason to think will continue into the future.
