§ Mr. Michael Forsythasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether his Department maintains, or supports the maintenance of, any offices or personnel abroad.
§ Dr. Boyson[pursuant to his reply, 17 November 1983, c. 569]: The final word of the given answer was in error. The correct reply should read as follows:
Yes. Currently the Department is maintaining the war pensions office at Dublin and the 25 personnel who work there. In addition, three officers maintained by the Department are working within the EC organisation in Brussels. Information about National Health Service personnel abroad is not held centrally.
