Jobseekers Allowance And Term-Time Only Workers

EDM number 219 in 1999-00, proposed by Lawrence Cunliffe on 20/12/1999.

That this House views with concern the refusal of the Benefits Agency to pay the jobseeker's allowance to term-time only workers, especially low paid workers in the education service, during the unpaid holiday periods; considers the money saved in the benefits system as insignificant, but crucial to many penalised individuals; and believes that the Government should urgently review this unfair and unjust anomaly as part of its anti-poverty strategy.

This motion has been signed by a total of 72 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
