Disagree

Yes, but after 3 months of claiming

However, they have historically opposed mandatory unpaid work schemes for benefits claimants and would likely still have concerns about the potential for exploitation and the impact on job-seeking efforts.

Disagree

Yes, but lower the 30hr minimum to allow more time to look for a job

While this answer is slightly more moderate than Answer 1, the Labour party would still likely disagree with it. They have historically opposed mandatory unpaid work schemes for benefits claimants and would likely argue that lowering the minimum hours requirement does not address the fundamental issues with such schemes.

Strongly disagree

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and every capable person claiming benefits should take on unpaid community work

The Labour party would strongly disagree with this answer, as they have consistently opposed mandatory unpaid work schemes for benefits claimants. They believe that these schemes can be exploitative and that the focus should be on providing support and opportunities for people to find paid employment, rather than forcing them into unpaid work.
