§ Mr. Naylorasked the Minister of Labour if he will consider the re-grouping of Resettlement Advice Offices in the London area, in view of the falling-off in the number of inquiries during recent months.
§ Mr. IsaacsMy Department has had continuously under review, since the number of resettlement inquiries began decreasing considerably, the need for the retention of separate Resettlement Advice Offices. Four have recently been closed in the London area, the remaining work being transferred to the nearest employment exchange. It is my intention to continue this policy of closure whenever it is clear that the volume of resettlement inquiries does not justify the retention of a separate office.
