Regulation 4 provides for any person to whom the Regulations apply who is not receiving a training allowance to be treated as available for employment for as long as he is participating in the Contract for Work programme.
Regulation 5 provides for Contract for Work to be an employment programme for the purposes of section 19 of the Jobseekers Act (sanctions). Regulation 6 adds to the list of circumstances which are to be regarded as good cause for the purposes of that section.
