Does the Minister not think that people doing this type of work should get at least the minimum wage? Students are struggling to make ends meet anyway, so very few students can avail of this opportunity of taking up the internship.

With regard to my other question on the potential participation of the British royal family in the centenary commemorations in 2016, I would like to point out that I do not think we should pay homage to any monarchy. Does the Minister not think that the presence of a British royal would distract from what we should really be commemorating when 2016 comes around?
