Mr K Buchanan asked the Minister for Communities, in light of the fact that Northern Ireland has a dire economic inactivity rate and that — the Member had many conversations with farmers and other people at the Balmoral show last week about this — many people, not just farmers, who can work have, for some reason, the mindset that, perversely, if they do not work, they will get more, showing that the system is wrong, to outline to those people, be they farmers, electricians or tradespeople, the benefits of working.
