There are three Departments with responsibility in this area and we need to bring representatives from each before the committee to discuss this problem. We will invite such representatives to come before us in the next couple of weeks because it is crazy that a potential 1,000 work and training placements are not being filled. That is just not on and we cannot accept it. I presume that any action taken in respect of this matter would be cost-neutral in nature because most of the people who would be taken on would come off the live register.
