So it is about seven in 10, hence your focus. Is not the challenge to strike a balance between what the Government or other agencies do about skills and training for SMEs, and the practical problems that you have touched on? Do you have any initial comments on the new proposals that the Government brought forward yesterday to support SMEs through the skills and training process, particularly the proposals to provide some subsidy to employers who are prepared to go down that route?
