Mr. Alex Angland:

My impression is there is a mix there. The majority of that would be legal, as the Deputy said, but it just goes to show how difficult it is for students to support themselves if, when they are going out to work and trying their best, they may be working 20 hours a week but still are earning below the minimum wage. They work more hours than somebody who is older would have to. As Mr. Roche said, students do not want to drop out. As that is the last thing they want, they will impoverish themselves. They will forego food, forego meals, skimp out on any possible expenses, renege on many of the opportunities that are given on the social side of university life and end up working 20 hours a week, sometimes even 30 hours.
