HC Deb 15 December 1964 vol 704 cc40-1W
56. Mr. Neil McBride

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the event of Government Department headquarters being dispersed from London, if he will give an assurance that he will consider Swansea as an alternative location; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. MacDermot

Yes. But I am bound to say that locations have been selected for almost all the Government Offices which are at present expected to be moved from London. Requests from different areas far exceed the number of offices it is possible to move.
