HC Deb 15 November 1983 vol 48 c433W
64. Mr. Arnold

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he proposes to merge the benefit work of integrated local offices with that of unemployment benefit offices.

Dr. Boyson

While we constantly seek ways to improve the co-ordination between local offices of our Department and the Department of Employment, and hence the service they provide, there are no proposals to merge their work.
