HC Deb 25 November 1964 vol 702 c195W
63. Mr. Rankin

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will take steps to ensure that, when Government headquarters are being dispersed from London, a due proportion of them will go to Scotland.

Mr. Diamond

Yes. In choosing locations for any headquarters units which it is decided to disperse from London the Government will continue to give special consideration to areas, including areas in Scotland, needing additional employment.
