HC Deb 22 November 1972 vol 846 c398W
54. Mr. Millan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what reply he has sent to the letter to the Prime Minister from the Lord Provost of Glasgow regarding the dispersal of Civil Service work from London.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

On behalf of the Government I also assured the Lord Provost that Glasgow's claims as a receiving area for Civil Service work to be dispersed from London would be taken fully into account.
