How to drain the dishwasher into this under sink pipework?

Hello folks, would appreciate advice on how we can connect our dishwasher outflow pipe into the drain under the sink (photo added). 
 

The washing machine empties into a stand pipe. I’ve previously added a dishwasher into a spigot under a sink but this pipework here hasn’t got one and I can’t see how to add one..

 

I’d like to avoid buying a whole new under sink set there as this set up is only for about six months while we wait for planning permission to extend.

 

thanks in advance!

thanks @joe90.

 

trouble is that the part on the left is too close to the underside of the sink bowl to allow for an attachment like that to be added. 
 

Can I add an extender piece to take it out beyond the sink bowl do you think? Thanks!

I don’t understand as that’s how they are designed, it does not have to be vertical, horizontal will do for the pipe bit as it’s a pumped supply. OR will it fit to that blank below the small sink (far right?j

Ah ok, I actually thought it had to flow in vertically but if it can work horizontally then I should be able to add the fixture there.

 

it would work on the far right side but the existing hose won’t reach that far - I imagine that there’s a possibility to extend the hose?

 

Really appreciate your help @joe90

You can extend or get longer hoses but not worth the faff, left hand side horizontal will work just fine 👍
