§ Mr. Gordon CampbellThe Lord Provost wrote to my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister and to me about the need for more Civil Service jobs for Glasgow. In reply I referred to the Hardman Committee's review and stated that no decisions had yet been reached on what Civil Service work could be moved out of London.
