I used chefs as an example. If there is a shortage of chefs, presumably the Government will include them in the list, but my point is that that is what we are doing. We are allowing people to work in areas in which there is a shortage of people with a particular skill set, but many people will be excluded from applying for more ordinary jobs where a particular skill set is not required. However, they still need the money and the dignity that comes with having the ability to work.
