§ Mr. Sutcliffeasked the Minister for the Civil Service if he will make a statement on his inquiry into the dispersal of Civil Service work into the development areas.
§ Mr. David HowellI would refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave him 107W and other hon. Members on 14th July, 1971.
I should emphasise that the nature of the work under review, much of which has a high policy content, may make it more difficult to relocate at a great distance from London, but development areas will be thoroughly considered alongside other places as the review proceeds.—[Vol. 821, C. 97–8.]
