HC Deb 25 June 1979 vol 969 c95W
Mr. Field

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many voluntary and statutory organisations have submitted evidence to him on the hardship being caused by the fortnightly payment of unemployment benefit.

Mr. Mayhew

No organisation has submitted evidence of hardship being caused by fortnightly payment of unemployment benefit. To meet this possibility claimants were given the right to choose to attend and be paid weekly.
