Yes. I spoke this morning with Ford’s vice-president, who confirmed that there is no employment risk at the Bridgend site in the short term, and that employment numbers will remain broadly similar to today, up to 2021. However, I reiterated our position that we stand ready to do all we can to support the plant in becoming more productive and, crucially, in securing new products for the plant, from 2021 onwards.
