Part-Time Study: The 21 Hour Rule

EDM number 637 in 1994-95, proposed by Jimmy Dunnachie on 20/02/1995.

That this House deplores the restrictions recently placed by Her Majesty's Government on the right of unemployed persons to attend further education colleges to study on a part-time basis for up to 21 hours per week; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to review its decision to reduce that right and to re-instate the policy whereby unemployed persons could use the 21 hour rule to try to improve their general qualifications and so their chances of obtaining employment.

This motion has been signed by a total of 61 MPs.
