HC Deb 17 May 1993 vol 225 c72W
169. Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he has any plans to raise the disregard level of earnings per day, over which an unemployed person would lose entitlement to benefit.

Mr. Burt

Unemployment benefit is not normally paid for any day on which a person earns more than £2. We have no plans to increase this daily earnings limit.
