§ 21. Mr. Gwilym Robertsasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will change the regulations for registering for unemployment to allow unemployed men and women not to register on two of the fortnightly dates per year, thus enabling them to take holidays.
§ Mr. RossiNo. We have no immediate plans to remove the requirement that unemployed claimants must show that they are still available for work, if they are to be entitled to benefit for a period when they are on holiday.
