Baroness Vere of Norbiton [V]
I am not able to comment on any particular conversations we may or may not be having with individual companies. However, I can confirm that the Government stand ready to support individual companies seeking bespoke support if they have exhausted all other measures, either from the Government or through private sources—for example, their shareholders. It remains the case that such support might come with the sort of conditions that the noble Lord mentioned. However, I would not want to prejudge that and, as I have said, any ongoing discussions about support would be subject to all sorts of terms.
The Deputy Speaker (Lord Bates) (Con)
My Lords, I am afraid that the time allowed for this question has now elapsed. We move now to the fourth Oral Question.
