§ Mr. Ralph Howellasked the Paymaster General what is the maximum amount of earnings a person who works for 15 hours in three working days can earn and still be able to claim unemployment benefit for the other three working days in the week.
§ Mr. LangEntitlement to unemployment benefit is determined on a daily basis. Benefit is not payable if earnings exceed £2. Earnings on days worked do not affect entitlement on other days in the week unless, in the opinion of the independent adjudicating authorities, they are derived from employment which can be regarded as continuous and from which the earnings exceed £2 on the daily average.
