There is neither time nor need for a bow. We had many employers we needed to help. I hope they can all successfully reopen. That is the most important thing. We now need to move ahead with trying to exit this scheme in a careful way, which is what we are trying to do. As we move through the second half of this year and see a jobs market that does not have the EWSS in place, I hope we will continue to see and expect to see jobs being retained and growing, and viable employers. Once we get to that point there will be a review of the scheme. I am sure we have much to learn from how it was implemented.
