There seems to be something of a conflict of interest here as G4S run a work programme. It could be suggested it pays them to not get claimants into work as they then get a second helping of taxpayer money for taking those same ciaimants back on their books for the Help to Work scheme. Anyway, how realistic is it to suggest the solution to G4S faling to find claimants work on the two years of the work programme is to give claimants back to them for a further six months? If they couldn’t get them into work in two years, how likely are they to do so in a further six months?
