Mr. John McKeon:

That is a very difficult issue. A number of committee members have made reference to the scarcity of resources, staff and scheme places. We have 408,000 people who are signing on. If people do not sign on, it is very difficult to say they should get a place over and above those who are signing on. Another practical difficulty is that many of the schemes come with payments attached. If an individual is not on a payment, he or she cannot receive the top-up. That presents a very practical difficulty.
