Mr. Edward M. Taylorasked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance if she is aware that the location of the National Assistance Board offices in Ballater Street, Gorbals, is inconvenient to, and causes hardship to, residents in the Cathcart constituency, particularly in Castlemilk; and whether she will establish another office of the Board in the district.
§ Mr. PentlandThe National Assistance Board informs me that it could not justify the opening of another office in this part of Glasgow. There should be no undue hardship for the residents because business with those in need of help from the Board, especially the elderly and the handicapped, is normally transacted in their own homes.
