I will be brief because my point follows on from what the Minister of State is saying. Is he aware that some senior council officials have said it is their intention to use Gateway participants instead of recruiting staff, even with the recruitment embargo lifted? Does he agree that the Gateway scheme should never be a scheme to displace council staff and other full-time employees, and that a message in this regard should go out to council officials who intend to use or abuse the Gateway scheme to replace staff to do certain work?
