HC Deb 07 June 1993 vol 226 c138W
23. Mr. Barry Field

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what representations he has had on the 21-hour rule.

Mr. Burt

The 21-hour rule enables unemployed claimants in receipt of income support to follow part-time education courses while continuing their search for work. We have received a number of representations from hon. Members and others over the past few months.
