HC Deb 06 July 1971 vol 820 c345W
51. Mr. Buchan

asked the Minister for the Civil Service what change there has been in the Government's dispersal policy in regard to the location of Government offices.

Mr. David Howell

There has been no change in our policy. It is, when choosing locations for Government work dispersed from London, to take account of the economy and efficiency of operation on the one hand and of regional policy on the other.
