HC Deb 03 March 1969 vol 779 cc12-3W
Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what proposals are being considered at present for moving sections of the administration or research activities of his Department from the London area to other parts of England or Wales within the next five years, or for establishing new centres of administration or research outside the London area within the next five years.

Mr. Crossman

I plan to use computers outside London for some of the social security benefit work of local offices in London, and for certain salaries and wages work still being done in London.

The Regional Office for London (West) will shortly be moving from Central London to Basingstoke.
