I might interrupt Mr. Gray there. Workers have said to me that they feel terrorised into accepting a redundancy package. I will ask the question again. Is it not the case that the airport will need the same number of workers, or more, in the future? Put bluntly, is it not the case that what is happening here is that the DAA is taking advantage of the pandemic to restructure its workforce and that those workers who return in future will come in on contracts or as agency staff and will have significantly lesser terms and conditions?
