Four years was mentioned, then two years, and I told the NTA and TII that it was not on because it would mean it would be almost impossible to bring people in and out of work in a tolerable time. We have to be convinced that any closures will be justified and will not cause significant disruption, which is what the proposals in the previous plan would do. I anticipate a plan coming back in which closures are not much of a feature. We aim to avoid closures at all costs.
