I apologise if I am not being clear. That may be because I am getting slightly tired as the afternoon wears on, but the point that I was trying to make was that people are not required to do a specific activity; they are required to fulfil a criterion of undertaking work-related activity. A customer could have, say, an action plan that listed five different things that he could do which the personal adviser believed, and had agreed with him, would take him closer to the workplace. He might then find that, on reflection, those five activities were not the things that would take him closer to the workplace and he might pursue something else: he might apply for a job or get involved in some voluntary work. The point that I am making is that we cannot specifically insist on people doing a particular activity; it is a general activity, as defined in the Bill, which takes them closer to the workplace.
