I want to pick up on that last question because I would like to ask both witnesses whether they would view it as a positive thing overall to move from 2 m to 1 m. I want to put it on record the fact that I support that position. Will they both comment as to what they think are the implications of the safety aspects of doing that for employees in firms, and whether the benefit is outweighed by the survivability of employment? For many industries and businesses there is no survivability without that movement on distancing in the near future. Whichever of the witnesses would like to start first may do so.
