Disagree

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

While the SNP may be more open to considering a reduced minimum hour requirement, they have historically opposed mandatory unpaid work for benefits claimants. They would likely still disagree with this answer, as it still involves forcing young people into unpaid work.

Strongly disagree

Very strongly disagree

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

The SNP would strongly disagree with this answer, as they have consistently opposed mandatory unpaid work for benefits claimants. They believe that such schemes are exploitative and do not effectively help people find long-term employment.
