HC Deb 24 July 1979 vol 971 c137W
Mr. Golding

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will ensure that where payments of unemployment benefit are normally paid fortnightly, the right of an individual to receive weekly payments of unemployment benefit is maintained, advertised, and easily secured without delay.

Mr. Mayhew

Posters and the explanatory leaflet given to all claimants at unemployment benefit offices operating fortnightly attendance and payment clearly state that the option to claim and be paid weekly is available to them. These arrangements will be continued when the fortnightly system is extended to all unemployment benefit offices in September.
