HC Deb 04 March 1969 vol 779 c95W
Mr. Hooley

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food 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. John Mackie

Already some 80 per cent. of the staff in this Department is located outside the London area. The possibilities of further movement are kept under review.

A small unit of Fisheries Research will be set up shortly in Weymouth.
