Let us fast-forward to today and examine the current scenario. Incredibly, the new regime which was to be created by the Act is not in place in 2003. Even more unacceptable is the fact that nothing at all is in place, the previous mechanism having been allowed to lapse pending the arrival of the new one. I understand and appreciate that the delay in implementing the new system has its roots in an industrial dispute. While we all know how such disputes can drag on and on, the extent of the delay in this case goes far beyond the bounds of acceptability. There is a case to answer for allowing the existing system to die away entirely rather than maintaining it until the new system was ready to take over. This is having a real impact on very vulnerable young people, for many of whom there will be no way back from the way of life they have chosen to pursue.
