It is quite a sizeable factor in servicing the debt because it obviously takes away our ability to invest in public services. We pay more taxes and all of that. In terms of our exposure, onshoring seems to me to be something to which we should be paying very serious attention. Has a risk analysis been carried out in respect of it? If it was to go back up to 120% as a result of an overnight change, how would it impact on us?
