I move amendment No. 11:

In page 12, line 22, after "benefit" to insert the following:

", including information relating to a claimant's language skills, educational attainment and length of residency in the State,".

We are opposed to this section because it appears to provide for a reduced rate of payment for social welfare allowances and jobseeker's allowance for under 20s without guaranteeing a place on a course and without providing for a full payment when the claimant does not secure a place on a course.
