-----when there was much competition for jobs. We are now suffering major labour shortages. That is why I mentioned the film industry. At the moment, because of the special purpose vehicle, SPV, structure, employment in that sector is completely precarious. People now have choices, however. They can leave the country or they can work in another sector. There is a danger that capacity can be run down in areas where we need to build it up. Should we be demanding greater conditionality around conditions of employment linked to tax reliefs? If there is going to be a tax relief, should it not actually guarantee sustainable employment over the long term?
