HC Deb 26 June 1972 vol 839 c231W
71. Mr. Blenkinsop

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will give general directions to publicly owned industries for which he is responsible to move their headquarters offices to the development areas.

Mr. Tom Boardman

No, this is essentially a matter for the industries themselves, but I have recently written to the chairman asking them to bear the Government's dispersal policy in mind when considering the location of their-offices.
