§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Employment when he last visited the offices of his Department in Toxteth, Brixton, Wood Green, Forest Gate, Woolwich, Southall, Moss Side, and Leicester; and whether he has any plans for future visits.
§ Mr. Peter MorrisonSince assuming office my right hon. Friend has visited Liverpool, Manchester and many parts of London to see for himself the problems on the ground. He has not visited the specific offices to which the hon. Member refers and at present has no plans to do so. But, because of his concern both with events in those areas and with the high levels of unemployment, he will continue to keep closely in touch with them.
