There have been reports in the last number of days relating to a Brexit fund of some type. Has consideration been given to a Brexit fund? Business is more capable and faster moving than Government, perhaps, in terms of difficulty with Brexit, the reallocation of resources or maybe even reducing the size of a business. However, the area business is unable to influence will be the potential to have a fund available, perhaps from the EIB, at very low interest rates. That would be hugely important to a business if it required cash-flow or to extend its current loans over a longer period of time and at lower rates. Something of that nature could be a huge benefit.
