Mr. John McKeon:

The lots have not been finalised yet. We held a briefing a couple of weeks ago based on the outcome of the first phase and we are considering that feedback. I cannot answer the Chair definitively. As he is aware, the midlands region was in the first phase. I cannot answer that but the intention is that there will be more lots than the consultants recommended. I emphasise that I have spoken personally with a number of different local employment service and jobs club providers, and I encourage them to collaborate. We saw the outcome of successful collaborations in the first phase.
