(2) whether he will, in considering the transfer of certain administrative functions from Bristol bear in mind the economic and social benefit of moving such departments towards West Cornwall.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerIn rationalising the Department's regional administration, I have made no changes in the location of offices dealing with Cornwall except that some planning work will be transferred from London to Bristol.
