PQ 241

Deputy Olivia Mitchell asked the Minister for Social Protection the reason jobseekers who take up part-time employment that is under 20 hours over five days a week and not allowed for three days, and who are also within the means test are not able to apply for jobseeker's allowance for the hours not worked, as this could be seen as a disincentive to take up part-time employment; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
