HC Deb 27 July 1964 vol 699 cc208-9W
Mr. Eldon Griffiths

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he will encourage the Location of Offices Bureau to consider the numerous advantages of Bury St. Edmunds and Nemarket for the siting of offices outside London.

Mr. Corfield

The job of the Location of Offices Bureau is not to press the claims of any particular town but to help firms wishing to move out of London to find a location suitable to their requirements. I understand that the Bureau has information about both Newmarket and Bury St. Edmunds which it can show to inquirers, and that some additional information is to be supplied by the Bury St. Edmunds Borough Council.
