EXPLANATORY NOTE.

Employment, involving less than eighteen hours in a contribution week, as an interviewer in connection with a marketing survey, opinion poll, census or similar project and employment, involving part-time service only, as a teacher in a comprehensive or community school, where the person employed is not mainly dependent on such employment, are, by these Regulations classified as subsidiary employments for the purposes of the Social Welfare Acts.
