§ Mr. Worsleyasked the Minister of Social Security when she expects to complete the integration of National Insurance offices and Supplementary Benefit Commission offices in Central London.
§ Mrs. HartThe Ministry of Social Security inherits 31 offices of the Ministry of Pensions and National Insurance and 28 offices of the National Assistance Board, covering the boroughs of Camden, Hackney, Hammersmith, Islington, Kensington and Chelsea, Lambeth, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Wandsworth, Westminster and the City of London. In 10 places the work of the former Departments is integrated and I hope that another 4 all-purpose offices will be in use by the end of 1969. The remainder will be replaced by 16 new all-purpose offices as soon as suitable premises can be obtained.
