The problems with the current internship system

However the way that internships operate at present is ad hoc and unclear and offers prefferential treatment to teh privately educated unless you contact the Constituency MP or local authority formally first and request to do work experience and ask for the full contract of employment and terms and conditions.

It does not fully apply to church and crown because they are the permenant institutions of the UK and that is the case for a British Bill of Rights. I agree with a bill of rights for the UK but because international law requires full behaviour according to civilised norms to prevent evils such as exploitation of others and torture and genocide and teh best way for that to be facilitated is democracy in my opinion to solve the middle east peace process permenantly.

The reason why I say safe and secure housing is that an employemnt track record in a government department is a better qualifier for housing and subsequent employment in UK cities if internships are only temporary under the current housing benefit reforms if that benefit is not allowed for full time students (as was put about by the NUS in the 1990s). That is why some privately educated students opt for external study or part time and combine it with employment to keep an employment record between internships.

internships as equality of opportunity

internships as equality of opportunity

If there are internships for govt departments they have to be housed and that requires secure and safe premises to ensure equality of opportunity. There has to be contracts of employment, salaries for time there and travel passes and rail fare to get to the location where they are staying. Only then would there be genuine equality of opportunity.

And for this The elected parliaments and assemblies also count as government departments.

Hence the deputy PM is right on this one.
