00:00What is your message to executives at Poundland?
00:03Focus on the people in your employment, meet with the business secretary because we are setting up that meeting,
00:11come up with a practical solution that saves jobs and saves those stores because many of them are viable propositions,
00:18they're on high streets, they matter in our communities, there is a solution to be found here, sit down with
00:23us and let's find it.
00:24Isn't the truth though that there's a limit to what the government can do, that if this business is deemed
00:29not to be a going concern it will go to the wall?
00:31There's always a limit but we're prepared to find what we can do.
00:35We believe in this instance there is a solution, there are many viable outlets here, other retailers are expressing interest,
00:44get around the table, let's find a solution.
