The Government obviously believes this change is vitally important. Surely the Minister must have some idea when it will be able to get through this necessary reform in the context of a huge unemployment crisis?

Will the staff of the new one stop shops consist of the present staff of county enterprise boards and enterprise staff in local authorities? Will there a be a one stop shop in each local authority area? Some local authorities are being merged but there will still be a fair few local authorities. The action plan for jobs indicates there will be.
