The figures my Department have produced show that there are 55,000 jobs at risk. They are a mix of jobs not created and jobs lost. As we are not able to make a sectoral analysis with any degree of accuracy, I am not going to put figures in front of the committee that I will subsequently be unable to stand over. The supports that will be provided will vary in different parts of the economy. Some parts of the economy will need some grant support to deal with the changes through which they are going. We may need to look at other measures, for example, for what the agrifood sector could face.
