That would probably be helpful. None the less, there is a movement from the jobcentre to the contractor. Someone will have to organise that movement for the individual claimant, and I cannot see anyone, other than the job adviser, who is likely to do that. Therefore, as I said, I make absolutely no apology for conflation. I could have prolonged my speech even further by delving into the 2008 financial report of the Department for Work and Pensions, as the noble Lord, Lord Kirkwood, did, but I decided that my speech was probably long enough already and that, if there were a valid point there, someone else—almost certainly the noble Lord, Lord Kirkwood—would make it, as indeed he did.
As I said at the beginning, I am extremely grateful to all noble Lords for contributing to this short debate. There is such comity around the Committee that I have absolutely no doubt that this subject will come back on Report—in quite what guise, I cannot yet say for the simple reason that we have not finished our discussions on Clause 1, let alone Clauses 2 and 3. However, I can tell the Minister that something will arrive.
