The Unemployment Insurance Act 1927 (17 & 18 Geo. 5. c. 30) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed by the Conservative Party in 1927. It reintroduced means testing for some benefits. One of the most controversial proposals was to raise Treasury contributions to that made by employers and workers, but that was dropped from the final legislation.
Subsequent developments The whole act was repealed by section 116(2) of, and part I of the seventh schedule to the Unemployment Insurance Act 1935 (25 & 26 Geo. 5. c. 8), which came into force on 18 March 1935.
