local office/unit Explanation: It has nothing to do with 24-hour operation - it means a local office (ie permanent presence) of an organisation. Permanence nf [...] (=local) office, duty office It's the last definition in my dictionary reference. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 hrs (2011-10-31 18:44:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The department has been broken up, and its responsibilities divided between two other departments.
