Given that the research hasn't been completed, it seems perfectly reasonable for the government to decline to extend the trial; I'd think it sensible to wait until they have analyzed the results before making any decisions (unless they have already seen some early data). > "The employment effects across the whole experiment will be available by the end of 2019 or at the beginning of 2020."
