§ Mr. Marksasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what the method of assessment will be for entitlement to supplementary benefit for employees who work alternate weeks and will not receive 373W unemployment benefit after 1st January, 1972.
§ Mr. DeanWhere an employee works alternate weeks by arrangement with his employer, it is proposed to continue the present practice whereby benefit is paid if his income averaged over a two-week period falls short of his weekly supplementary benefit level. This puts him in a similar position to that of the employee who works for one half of each week.
