§ Mr. OrmeI have been asked to reply.
Unemployment benefit, including earning-related supplement, is not payable for any day on which a person is engaged in employment unless the earnings derived from the employment in respect of that day, or on the daily average, do not exceed 75p. The person must be available on the day in question for full-time employment as an employee; the work he is doing must be consistent with full-time employment: and, if he is working as an employee, the employment must not be in his usual main occupation. Entitlement to unemployment benefit for any day is not affected by earnings received in respect of other days.
