Habitual Residence Test and Holiday Representatives
Dear Department for Work and Pensions,
British Citizens are recruited in some numbers by British holiday companies to work in holiday destinations abroad. Their job is to facilitate and enhance the holiday experience of holidaymakers. The 'holiday representatives commonly work abroad between May and September then return to the UK.
In the event that they have no UK job to return to will they be subject to the Habitual Residence Test on their return should they apply for JSA or HB or are they exempt?
Has DWP held consultations with the major employers in the sector about HRT?
Does DWP have an estimate of the number of people affected and if so, what is it?
Yours faithfully,
James Wildman

Dear Department for Work and Pensions,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Department for Work and Pensions's handling of my FOI request 'Habitual Residence Test and Holiday Representatives'.
The reply I received did not answer most of the points on which I requested information. I will accept that the statistics I requested are not economically accessible, However, I must ask you again to confirm whether or not you had consultations with employers in the Travel Industry about the impacts of the new measures on their staff.
I expect this information is readily available.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/h...
Yours faithfully,
James Wildman
