HC Deb 22 February 1966 vol 725 c56W
Mr. Longden

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many firms and how many individuals have responded to the persuasions of the Location of Offices Bureau to move their offices out of London, and how many individual employees have been thus affected, in each of the years since the Bureau was set up.

Mr. Mellish

As a result of the Bureau's activities, 19 firms—a total of 2,021 posts—moved out of Greater London in 1964. In 1965 the figures were 68 firms and 5,191 posts. In addition, 110 firms with 4,083 posts moved in these two years from Central London to the suburbs.
