HC Deb 27 November 1984 vol 68 c440W
Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many unemployment benefit offices in the north west of England are currently operating a system of monthly signing on only; and if he will specify the offices in question.

Mr. Alan Clark

There are no unemployment benefit offices in the Department's north-west region currently operating a system of monthly signing. Some did operate monthly for a short period recently, but have now returned to the normal fortnightly system. As usual special signing arrangements will apply over Christmas.
