HC Deb 21 March 1983 vol 39 c326W
Mr. Maclennan

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many applications for unemployment benefit made to the Wick and Thurso employment offices in Caithness were rejected in 1982 on the grounds that the applicant was a seasonal worker.

Mr. Gummer

In 1982 the independent adjudicating authorities decided that 37 people who claimed at the Wick or Thurso unemployment benefit offices were not entitled to unemployment benefit because they were seasonal workers who did not satisfy the additional conditions applicable to them.
