The hon. Gentleman has illuminated one of the points that I was trying to make. Has he also considered the fact that in the situation he is describing, the roll out of pathways to work will have taken place, so those people will have an ability to take part in support to pathways to work while not being subjected to the conditionality regime that someone assessed a few weeks later would be subjected to? There is a question of balance and fairness in relation to how those two quite similarly situated payments will be treated.
