Well, I think, first of all, we need to understand exactly what it is that Arla may be able to provide as an alternative to the products that are being produced there at the moment, and then we'll be able to, if at all possible, put together a bespoke package of support that could include, for example, skills retraining or skills training programmes that could include facility development support. We don't know exactly what those proposals are at this moment and how serious the company is about alternative products being developed at the site, but I can guarantee that we will look at every opportunity to protect those jobs and, if it all possible, help grow the company and maintain its presence in its current facility.
