§ Mr. Hattonasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what representations he has received on behalf of one-parent families and other recipients of social security payments to change the day of payment from the beginning to the end of the week; and what reply he has sent.
§ Mr. OrmeSuch requests are received occasionally. Pay days are fixed for different types of social security payments with regard to the need to spread the foal of activity falling on the Post Office. It would not be practicable for them all to be placed at the end of the week.
