Mr. Sean Broderick:

There are a couple of things I would like to raise. We are all delighted to be here today to put our point across. We are at a crucial point in the schemes at this time. We are a third of the way into 2022 and I know that our company has been informed that if we do not fill our quota by the end of the year, our funding will be cut. If funding is cut, the partnership companies will tend to go away from the schemes because there would be nothing there for them. If anything needs to be done, it needs to be done fairly quickly and whoever is there, we should have a voice at that table.

From the RSS point of view on participants, the six-year rule is crucial at this point because we have been instructed to issue contracts only to the end of the six years. That will be next February for us in some of cases. We have a very short window within which to get things done. I would like that to be dealt with urgently than to be left on the long finger for a period. Otherwise, the schemes will die. If that happens, that is the end of them and they are gone. I thank the Chairman.
