Unemployment Act 1934

Unemployment Act 1934
Act of Parliament
Parliament of the United Kingdom
Long titleAn Act to amend the Unemployment Insurance Acts, 1920 to 1933, and to make further provision for the training and assistance of persons who are capable of, and available for, work but have no work or only part-time or intermittent work; and for purposes connected with the matters aforesaid.

Dates
Royal assent28 June 1934

The Unemployment Act 1934 (24 & 25 Geo. 5. c. 29) was an Act of Parliament in the United Kingdom, reaching statute on 28 June 1934. It reduced the age at which a person entered the National Insurance scheme to 14 and made the claiming age 16 years.[1] It also separated benefits earned by paying National Insurance and those purely based on need.[2] To do this, it established two bodies: the Unemployment Insurance Statutory Committee to deal with unemployment benefits earned by payment of National Insurance when in work; and the Unemployment Assistance Board to provide means-tested payments for those not entitled to such benefits.[3] The Unemployment Act 1934 also restored the previous 10% cut in unemployment benefits, brought in after the 1931 May Committee. This was due to a reduction in the number of those unemployed in the UK, which was reduced partially due to the creation of the Iron and Steel Federation in 1934 and the introduction of the National Grid in 1933.

Basis for the act

In order to pass the Unemployment Act, Sir Henry Betterton (Minister of Labour at the time), based his bill on a set of principles. Betterton divided the bill into three separate parts, each of which had a distinct set of principles.

Part 1: Insurance

  1. That the scheme should be financed by contributions from the workers, employers and the State.
  2. That benefit should be dependent upon contributions
  3. That the scheme should be maintained on a solvent and self-supporting basis.

Part 2: Eligibility

  1. That assistance should be proportionate to need.
  2. That a worker who has been long unemployed may require assistance other than, and in addition to, cash payments.
  3. That the State should accept general responsibility for all the industrial able-bodied unemployed outside insurance, within, of course, the limits of a practical definition.

Part 3: Transition

Part III of the act dealt with the transitory provisions—for the transition from the existing arrangements to the amended insurance scheme and the new assistance scheme.[4]
