§ Earl Russellasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will undertake that the refusal of a job paying commission only will not be used to cast doubt on whether the claimant is actively seeking work.
§ Lord InglewoodIf claimants fail to apply for, or refuse the offer of, any job that has been properly notified to them, they can be disqualified for receiving unemployment benefit unless they show good cause for the refusal. The circumstances of any refusal are carefully considered when deciding whether claimants have fulfilled their obligation to seek work actively and this applies to jobs paying commission only as to other jobs.
