It is absolutely absurd for Deputy Smith to say that. The workers and staff are protected under this particular scheme. There will not be redundancies as a result of putting this out to tender. There will be none, so for the Deputy to suggest that the workers are in some way being laid off, they are not. They have options under these schemes. They have options to have similar terms of employment and options to move. There are no redundancies, so do not tell me that they are threatened by this. The conditions of these schemes are written specifically to protect the staff.
