HC Deb 26 July 1949 vol 467 cc103-4W
40. Sir P. Macdonald

asked the Minister of National Insurance what is his present policy with regard to the provision of offices of his Department in the Isle of Wight; how many it is intended to have; and where they are to be situated.

Mr. J. Griffiths

There are five offices of my Department on the Island—at Newport, Cowes, Ryde, Ventnor and Shanklin. All are being retained. The Newport office will continue to be open daily. As from the end of this month those at Cowes and Ryde will be open on three alternate days a week; those at Ventnor and Shanklin on two days a week.
