We are seeing a rhetorical focus on training and development yet there seems to be a significant reduction in the initial gross allocations so it is important it is clarified in the context of the budgetary allocation. It would not be a good signal to middle management or to new recruits that we are halving a potential training and development allocation for them. I hope it is clarified.
