While I share the witness's concerns on the broader point, I must say that I have not met, in my clinic, anybody who said that they have been removed from the payment on the ground of genuinely seeking work, nor have I heard tell of this from any of my colleagues. So, the questions is, is it a current and legitimate concern, or a broader concern regarding the overall legislation in the longer term? Has any of the organisations received any complaints from individuals who have been removed on the ground of genuinely seeking work?
