§ Mr. M. JONESasked the Minister of Pensions whether representations have been made to him in reference to the retention of the permanent pensions office at Caerphilly; and whether, having regard to the convenience of Caerphilly as a centre for the adjacent villages within the Caerphilly Urban District Council area, and to the delay and inconvenience which must be occasioned by the removal of the pensions office from Caerphilly, he will give effect to these representations?
§ Major TRYONThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. My right hon. Friend will give full consideration to the representations in favour of retaining the office referred to as a whole-time office, if this course should be found compatible with economical administration.
