Number of weeks in financial years (UK)

Question

For each of the last 15 years, in the UK how many weeks were there in the tax/financial year? I want to have a clear out of old payslips and plan on shredding them all apart from the last one of each financial year.
I know that some financial years will have been 53 weeks long rather then 52 weeks long.

Every year has 53 weeks as there are no years with only 364 days (52 * 7)
If you are paid weekly you may have only 52 payslips in a particular year – but as to which years, this depends on which day of the week your payslip is issued.
