HL Deb 02 November 1994 vol 558 c72WA
Earl Russell

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the debate initiated by Lord Simon of Glaisdale on 20th October, whether in the forthcoming Jobseeker's Allowance they will give an undertaking that the principles and amounts of any proposed disentitlements to benefit and the precise terms of the proposed Jobseeker's Agreement will be embodied in primary legislation and not in regulation.

Lord Inglewood

The Bill to introduce the new Jobseeker's Allowance will seek the appropriate powers governing disentitlement to benefit and the terms of the Jobseeker's Agreement.
