Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:
In fairness, they did. That was the only way they could exit, but they did not want to exit, in most cases. Regarding the strategy itself, the view outlined by the Deputy is not the case. We have been in talks about the nature of the voluntary exit scheme and ensuring we can make it fair so people at all levels can leave the organisation as we reshape it. The impact will absolutely not all fall on lower-paid people. In fact, I think several senior people would be part of the plan to exit.
