I propose to take Questions Nos. 660 to 662, inclusive, together.

The Action Plan for Jobs, launched on 13 February 2012, is a matter for the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation. It is important to note that the Action Plan for Jobs is not a policy working in isolation from other actions. The Government’s statement on Labour Market Activation, Pathways to Work, sets out our strategy to ensure that that as many new job opportunities as possible are filled by those on the Live Register.
