MR PARRY TO VISIT CITY
Social Security Business (P.S.S.) WELLINGTON, November 24. Several points concerning the administration of the Social Security Act will be dealt with in Christchurch by the Minister in charge of the department (the Hon. W. E. Parry), who left Wellington for the south to-night. In a large State department like the Social Security Department, having intimate dealings with so many sections of the community, Mr Parry said to-night, there would always be features obtruding in some cases which, in the interests of the applicants and the administration, would not be settled by correspondence. Those cases required careful investigation in the districts in which the persons concerned resided by the department’s executive. It was for that purpose that the chairman of the Social Security Commission, Mr H. Digby Smith, was accompanying him on his visit to the South Island. A similar course had been followed in the North Island with satisfactory results. “It gives the applicant,” the Minister added, “an opportunity of appearing in person to explain more fully than correspondence allows the aspects in dispute in his or her case.” Mr Parry will go on to Temuka and Timaru on Thursday.
