§ 49. Mr. Tinnasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will take steps to ensure that payment of industrial injuries benefit is not interrupted pending the submission of the usual periodic medical reports in order to prevent hardship to beneficiaries.

Except in a few instances where there is an unforeseen difficulty, interruption of weekly payments of benefit does not arise.
