HC Deb 10 October 1944 vol 403 c1596W
Sir R. Glyn

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if it is intended to continue the regional offices of various Departments throughout the country.

Sir J. Anderson

I am not in a position to make a full statement, but there is no doubt that the efficient application of Government policy, and the maintenance of a proper service to the public, will require a number of Departments to maintain regional representation. I would refer my hon. Friend in particular to paragraph 30 of the White Paper on Employment Policy (Command 6527).
