I am becoming quite frustrated by this debate. Will my hon. Friend the Minister re-examine closely the safeguards needed? Is it not a fact that the process is also important? A person might be afraid of attending an interview or have had past experience that makes them feel that something of which they are fearful might happen. The visits and conversations that will take place before any sanctions are imposed might enable someone to take an opportunity that they would otherwise not avail themselves of.
