Yes, absolutely. So, I think it would be absolutely unacceptable if we found ourselves in a position, as we were when we introduced the firebreak previously in the pandemic, where the UK Government didn’t provide additional financial support, but as soon as it needed to take similar measures, all of a sudden furlough was there and available. That situation is absolutely unacceptable. We don’t know where this pandemic will take us and what measures might be necessary over the months ahead, so I think that having a clear framework with the UK Government as to when funding should be available and under what circumstances is vital.

You’ll be aware that the First Minister wrote, alongside the First Minister of Scotland, to the UK Government on precisely this issue. My understanding is they haven’t yet had a response, so I’ve written this morning, again, to the Chief Secretary of the Treasury, outlining that particular issue and the need for assurances there. But then, also, raising the issue of a COVID guarantee again, because in the last financial year, we negotiated a COVID guarantee, which gave us a global sum for COVID expenditure, which allowed us to plan, allowed us to make the most of opportunities, and allowed us to understand the risks that we were facing, because we knew that overall sum that we would receive. Even though it kept changing throughout the year, it was at least a good start. So, we’re asking for that to be reinstated in light of the current situation, and I hope it’s something that the UK Government will agree to, because it seems just a reasonable flexibility that they would be able to provide us with.
