The point was made that it is essential that a good understanding of the labour market profile of asylum seekers underpins support structures. I believe that is a good point. It was said that significant administrative barriers faced by asylum seekers in accessing a range of services must be dealt with by ensuring that such administrative barriers are overcome, including through training of officials, provision of accessible information, and the tailoring of identification requirements for the particular situation of asylum seekers. Along with my first point about the unfairness of the current arrangement, the witnesses have also made strong points. Have the points been put to the Government? Has it responded?
