Hm. Does the fact matter that prima facie it is paying less than NMW?The current maximum offset for accommodation is £31.57 which makes £76.57 in total - doesn't look very full-time to me. I can't see anything about the type of work on the Borders Agency website, though they do say that you do not need to register in order to do voluntary work. They mention the NMW though. Why is the pay so low? Is it a reputable body? Have they ever heard of the NMW? Since it clearly IS work and he is being paid for it he will hae to register, anyway.
