I thank the Minister of State for speaking to those amendments. This is a very important initiative and in a competitive modern economy, it is essential that we have such a scheme, in particular for SMEs because the absence of a scheme such as this could act as a brake on the potential growth of SMEs and in terms of attracting and retaining talent as well. I seek clarity from the Minister of State. Does he propose the deletion of the reference to "pharmaceutical" and "engineering" in amendments Nos. 11 and 12?
