I have a strong interest in seeing if there is evidence to back up many of the concerns raised by the Deputy. That is why I anticipate the report to which I have referred the Deputy on a number of occasions will be brought to Cabinet and published soon and should provide an evidence base for examining the issue. In the context of our earlier discussion on the future of the USC, I have very strong views that in light of all the challenges people face we have to look at ways in which we can renew a social contract. One way a social contract will be fractured and undermined is through the potential growth of employment practices that would deny people benefits in the future. I aim to make the report on this matter available soon to provide an evidence base on the issue.
