§ Mr. Evelyn Kingasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how much cash was paid out by the Weymouth office in the last convenient week; and how much in a comparable week one and two years earlier, respectively.
§ Mr. MeacherIn the period of the month of May in 1973, 1974 and 1975 cash payments by the Weymouth office totalled £6.25, £1, and £11 respectively. It would not be possible to give a figure of total benefit payments—including girocheques and order books—without disproportionate effort.
