Its seems more and more businesses are getting itchy feets over the government's work experience scheme for jobless people.
Quote:
Bakery chain Greggs has become the latest company to voice concern over the government's controversial work experience scheme for jobless people.
Chief executive Ken McMeikan told the BBC he was not be comfortable with young people potentially losing their benefits if they leave the initiative.
