So if you had a vast army of people doing this for free, it would mean the people currently employed to do this work would be out of a job?
I'm all for retraining and cutting benefits if people refuse to work, but this idea sounds counterproductive.
Companies, and councils, that currently employ people to do this work would have to lay them off...and I suppose they'd then end up on one of these schemes, doing for free what they were once paid to do.
