HC Deb 11 December 1989 vol 163 cc471-2W
Ms. Short

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment under what circumstances unemployed claimants who are studying part-time are asked to complete the questionnaire attached to ES notice 178/89 and distributed throughout the employment service; what plans he has to use such a standard questionnaire after March 1990; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Eggar

The questionnaire to which the hon. Lady refers has been used for some time where unemployed claimants are studying, or intending to study, part-time to establish whether they are available for employment. It will continue to be used for the foreseeable future.
