Keith, 39 voluntary hours a week would be like working full-time for a social benefit! If that happened, then £65 a week plus the rent would soon become the norm, and we would be more degraded than in the days of the Industrial Revolution.
Yes, I doubt that many would come from abroad to work here full time (which is 40 hours a week), if they had to compete with 5 million unemployed people working voluntarily full time for those those figures (social benefit), but as there are not that many vacant jobs going here (see number of vacant jobs in three month period according to official statistics), millions of currently employed people would have to give up their job in order to allow millions of unemployed to work (voluntary) 39 hours a week (for social benefit).
