HC Deb 17 November 1987 vol 122 c522W
93. Mr. McCrindle

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will consider introducing an employment credit scheme which would allow the long-term unemployed to combine their earnings from part-time work with their benefits.

Mr. Scott

I am aware of proposals that have been made for the introduction of an employment credit scheme. Officials in this Department and their colleagues in the Department of Employment are looking very carefully at the implications.
