My understanding is that one of the criteria for jobs clubs or the LES is to place 30% of participants in full-time jobs. Would the Minister agree that, in view of the drop in unemployment and the fact that the LES generally deals with people at the furthest distance from the labour market who, for one reason or another, find it very difficult to get long-term employment, that this is rather onerous and should be changed to include people placed in part-time jobs? Many people will initially get part-time employment.
