HC Deb 16 April 1969 vol 781 c249W
45. Mrs. Ewing

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps he is taking to ensure the location in Scotland of further Government offices as part of the Government's policy of decentralisation.

Dr. Dickson Mabon

Scotland is considered whenever locations are being decided for new or transferred Government work. The most recent examples are the Inland Revenue Computer Centre to be located in the Edinburgh area (providing on present estimates up to 3,000 jobs) and certain London Drawing Office work of the Post Office which is being moved to Glasgow and which is expected to employ about 100 people.
