The Regulations contained in this Instrument are made either by virtue of, or in consequence of, provisions in the Jobseekers Act 1995 (c.18) (“the 1995 Act"). The instrument is made before the end of the period of 6 months beginning with the coming into force of those provisions; the regulations in it are therefore exempted from the requirement in section 172(1) of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 (c.5) to refer proposals to make these Regulations to the Social Security Advisory Committee and are made without reference to that Committee.

PART II JOBSEEKING
Chapter III Actively Seeking Employment
Further circumstances in which a person is to be treated as actively seeking employment: laid off and short-time workers21
A person who has restricted his availability for employment in accordance with regulation 17(1) or, as the case may be, regulation 17(2), shall in any week in which he has so restricted his availability for not less than 3 days be treated as actively seeking employment in that week if he takes such steps as he can reasonably be expected to have to take in order to have the best prospects of securing employment for which he is available under regulation 17.
