Administrative / biographical background

The Overseas Group at the Newcastle Central Office was set up in 1948 to take responsibility for the operation, though not the negotiation, of reciprocal agreements with overseas countries for the payment of pensions and other social security benefits and, subsequently, for the administration of European Community regulations in this field.

In 1974, carrying out the same functions, it became the Overseas Branch of the Office's B Division. It acts in close liaison with the department's International Relations Division, situated in London, whose function is to consider policy in these matters.
