Mr. John McKeon:
I accept what the Chairman is saying. There is not a very high demand for it but it is probably very important for the people who need it. Not every jobseeker is the same. Something we certainly know from employment services is that there is a great range and mix of abilities, competencies, qualifications and attitudes. If schemes like this work for 20 people or 100 people, they are still worthwhile doing for those 20 people even if the numbers are low.
