HC Deb 20 November 1972 vol 846 c302W
Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what proportion of firms relocating outside London in response to the appeals of the Location of Offices Bureau has gone to Scotland; and what proportion of the employees relocated has gone to Scotland.

Mr. Graham Page

The records of the Location of Offices Bureau show that of the 1,263 firms which were advised by the bureau, and which have established offices outside Central London, nine have relocated part of their activities in Scotland. Information is not available about the number of employees who have transferred to Scotland, but the work relocated involved 219 jobs out of a total of 89,095 jobs moved.
