HC Deb 03 May 1990 vol 171 c653W
Mr. Fatchett

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security, further to the reply of 30 April, what steps he will take to make available to the public instructions to be given to his officials about the application of the 21-hour rule.

Mrs. Gillian Shephard

Existing information given to officials concerning the application of the 21-hour rule is published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office in the "Adjudication Officer's Guide", volume 3, and in the "Income Support Manual", section 3, which are available in the Library. The clarification referred to in my reply of 30 April will be published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office in an income support circular.
