HC Deb 03 December 1968 vol 774 c423W
60. Mr. Ted Fletcher

asked the Minister for the Civil Service what progress is being made in transferring Government offices at present located in London to the development areas.

Mrs. Hart

Since the Fleming Report in May, 1963, some 3,400 jobs have been moved from London to the Development Areas and plans have been announced to move a further 7,600 jobs. (The latter figure is increased to about 11,000 if Cardiff and Edinburgh, which border Development Areas, are included).
