HC Deb 30 March 1981 vol 2 cc35-6W
Mr. Trippier

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many war pensioners have taken the option of having their pensions paid fortnightly or monthly; and what percentage this is of the overall number entitled to a pension.

Mr. Rossi

1,630 war pensioners have opted to have their pensions paid four-weekly instead of weekly. This is 0.5 per cent. of those paid weekly. There is no option for payment fortnightly.
