The Ministry of Pensions appointed a public relations officer during the Second World War. After the Ministry of National Insurance had been set up in 1945 it too appointed staff within its Establishments and Organisation Department to be responsible for public relations and information policy.
When the Ministry of Pensions and the Ministry of National Insurance were merged in 1953 to form the new Ministry of Pensions and National Insurance (MPNI) these arrangements continued, and by 1966, the MPNI had created a separate Information Division, responsible for all aspects of public relations. The MPNI itself became part of the new Ministry of Social Security in 1966.
