HC Deb 26 November 1991 vol 199 cc491-2W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what change there will be to the employment figures as a result of the redefinition of full-time work from 24 hours to 16 hours for those on income support; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Jackson

There will not be a change to the definition of full-time work in the employment series. It will remain at more than 30 hours per week, as it has for the last 45 years.
