I am advised that information on jobseekers claims, including the Casual Jobseeker payments and Jobseeker's Benefit Short Time Work Support, is only available on a weekly basis, and that it is not possible to provide a breakdown of the number of days for which a person is receiving these payments. Information in respect of the number of recipients of these payments for the week ending 30th May 2021 is set out below.

- Short Time Work Support Casual Jobseeker's Benefit Casual Jobseeker's Allowance
W/E 30th May 2021 3,930  14,394  18,405
