HC Deb 20 July 1959 vol 609 c85W
83. Mr. H. Hynd

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance whether, as a matter of economy and administrative convenience, he will amalgamate local offices of his Department and the National Assistance Board.

Miss Pitt

Wherever practical offices of the Ministry and of the Board are housed in the same premises. Elsewhere the Ministry's offices as well as employment exchanges provide facilities for dealing with National Assistance inquiries wherever this seems advantageous.
