CONSIDERATION FOR PUBLIC MORE COMMODIOUS PREMISES [BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION'] "WELLINGTON, Tuesday The need of providing commodious premises for Government departments with which the general public largely has business was emphasised by the Minister of Pensions, the Hon. W. E. Parry, in replying to a deputation today. " There is no doubt," Mr. Parry said, "that there has been overcrowding in the past in many of the Government offices where large numbers of the public have business daily. I found this overcrowding to be notable in more offices of the Pensions Department than I care no\y to remember. Gradually we are giving pensions registrars much needed new offices, and when new offices cannot be obtained certainly extra space is being provided for the staff and the public." It was the Government's policy to properly house the departments, concluded the Minister.
