HC Deb 05 February 1968 vol 758 c8W
69. Mr. James Hamilton

asked the Minister of Social Security if she is satisfied that the salaries being paid at local offices of her Department are adequate; to what extent enough competent people are applying for these jobs; what difficulties they are having in acquiring staff; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. Loughlin

The salaries paid at local offices in my Department are common to the Civil Service generally. Allowing for the necessary interval between a vacancy occurring and being filled, our local offices generally are staffed up to complement except in parts of London.
