HC Deb 19 April 1983 vol 41 c75W
21. Mr. Gwilym Roberts

asked 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. Rossi

No. 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.
