HC Deb 16 May 1972 vol 837 cc68-9W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will give details of the office hours of his administrative staff at Alexander Fleming House and state why at 5.2 p.m. on a weekday no one is available to deal with a telephone call from a Member of Parliament, who is told to telephone again the next day; and whether he will initiate a scheme to deal with urgent matters until 6.30 p.m. on a weekday.

Sir K. Joseph

My Private Office is always staffed on weekdays until after 6.30 p.m. and is available to deal with telephone calls from Members of Parliament.
