Quote:
A university graduate who was made to work at Poundland for free under a Government scheme has won her Court of Appeal claim.
Cait Reilly, 24, had argued that being forced to work in the discount shop for nothing while she looked for a permanent job was unlawful.
Three judges in London ruled that the regulations under which most of the Government's back-to-work schemes were created are unlawful and quashed them.

Their solicitors said later the ruling means "all those people who have been sanctioned by having their jobseekers' allowance withdrawn for non-compliance with the back-to-work schemes affected will be entitled to reclaim their benefits"

So it looks as though plans to give people work experience and earn their benefits have been scuppered .It looks as though we must continue to give people free money ...for free
