I agree noddy, that has been a lot of peoples concern in the private sector for a long time. The private sector for reasons which are becoming more and more mysterious to me, normally based on standards and being dragged into arguments about professionalism, have not tried the exploiting paying and volunteer work forces in ppg situations or subsidising it. The biggest problem is insurance or indemnities. A lot of the charity units are able to get away with volunteers paying because they are protected under huge indemnities polices of their universities and councils.
