§ Mr. Greenwayasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he has evidence of individuals claiming unemployment benefit at a number of different offices; and if he will make a statement.
§ Dr. BoysonClaimants to unemployment benefit are free to choose at which unemployment benefit office they make their claim. Cases do arise of individuals claiming at more than one office at the same time, but procedures for locating the claim units are designed to ensure that overlapping claims are discovered to avoid duplication of benefit payments. Records of such claims are not kept centrally.
