Mr. John Hughes:

My colleagues would have more experience on the ground within individual companies. It is not an either-or. It would seem to me and to the Department that it depends on what is the appropriate need of an individual client company at a moment in time, whether that is to employ somebody full-time on contract or to have consultancy. All of these will now be options that are available whereas, at the moment, consultancy is not an option even when the most appropriate thing may be to have a fixed-term consultancy arrangement that would then give the company the pathway it needs to travel to achieve the decarbonisation that we are all committed to.
