§ 34. Mr. Nichollsasked the Paymaster General if he will make it his policy to refuse supplementary benefits to those who reject an offer of training under the YTS; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. TrippierThe small number of young people who unreasonably refuse a suitable place on YTS risk having their supplementary benefit reduced in the same way as those who unreasonably refuse a suitable offer of employment. Each case is judged individually on its merits by the independent adjudicating authorities. I am sure that this is the right approach, and there are no plans to change the current rules.
