Thank you very much, First Minister. Of course, the question precedes the announcement yesterday on the approach being taken over the next few weeks. I'm sure you share my disappointment that the United Kingdom Government is not stepping into the breach and providing seamless support for people who are affected by that. But it would be useful, I think, First Minister, if you could outline to us this afternoon how you see support for both workers and for businesses over the two-week national lockdown, and how you see the different schemes meshing together to ensure that we have seamless support for people throughout this period and how you see any gaps in that support being addressed as we move forward.
