HC Deb 14 July 1948 vol 453 cc104-5W
67. Sir W. Wakefield

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty what premises and accommodation are being given up by the Admiralty in London in view of the policy of decentralisation and the retention of premises and accommodation in Bath.

Mr. Dugdale

As I said on 30th June, the transfer of further parts of the Admiralty headquarters organisation to Bath is a long-term project, the timing of which will depend on reductions in the staff already there and on the provision of additional housing. I do not expect any substantial moves for some time, and I am afraid that I cannot at present forecast what accommodation in London the Admiralty will be able to release as a result.
