HC Deb 23 January 1968 vol 757 c71W
79. Mr. George Jeger

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will arrange that all local offices of Government Departments which have direct relations with the public, such as Social Security and Inland Revenue, should be open and staffed on Saturday mornings to enable persons with problems requiring personal interviews to avoid the necessity to take time off during the working week.

Mr. Harold Lever

No. I appreciate my hon. Friend's point, but each Department with offices serving the public makes arrangements appropriate to its own work and to economy in its staff.
