No. I believe that is the Minister's policy and position. It has different levels of application in reality. I do not need to press the amendment but I suggest a greater promotion of that option could be made through some of the usual channels because people still regard it as somewhere they need to go almost by invitation or requirement. Unfortunately, occasionally it happens that individuals come through who are told they are not the desired cohort. It is uneven. There have been positive and less positive instances. Perhaps a messaging response might be more appropriate even than this amendment.
