Before I ask for a response I want to ask about an issue that was not covered by my colleagues. It concerns the timescales for this process. Mention was made of the need to ramp it up and that there is not a sufficient number of schemes. What is the witnesses' best estimate on when a youth guarantee scheme can be up and running in its entirely in the country, bearing in mind the issue of funding and the need for some sort of pilot scheme? When do the witnesses believe something will happen in this country? Bearing in mind the time, I ask the witnesses to limit their comments to about six or seven minutes each. Does Mr. Higgins want to go first?
