This is precisely why I am in the service of this Government. I think that the hon. Member did not quite get what I said. I agreed that the process could have been done more humanely but in his question he seemed to imply that I had disagreed with the retrenchment exercise. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, there is a difference between the two. While one was done because it was considered absolutely necessary for restructuring of the KBC, I still stand by what I said, that to the extent that the affected workers were not informed in advance, I think that should not have happened."}
