I thank the Accounting Officer for that information. It was information we sought previously and we appreciated that there could have been issues of commercial sensitivity. However, it allows us to evaluate whether we are getting value for money so it is helpful. On page 139 of the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General, it is stated that the service was intended to assist unemployed persons to find and sustain permanent employment or self employment. What is the definition of permanent employment?
