If the European funding element of £125 million is not made up by the UK Government, then clearly the metro cannot go ahead at the same speed and in terms of the same ambition as it otherwise would have done. So, yes, there is a £125 million gap that the UK Government has to make up, otherwise the metro project cannot be as ambitious as we would want it to be, although, clearly, it can move forward but not in quite the way that we would have wanted.
