HC Deb 28 July 1966 vol 732 c326W
75. Sir C. Osborne

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in view of Her Majesty's Government's policy of dispersing Civil Service work away from London, why he has allowed 1,000,000 extra square feet of office space to be taken since October, 1964, for various Government Departments in the London area; as this takes additional labour from productive industry for non-productive office work, if he will reverse this latest trend; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. MacDermot

I have nothing to add to the Answer of my right hon. Friend the Minister of Public Building and Works on 13th July, 1966.
