Mr. BucksThere have, of course, been some routine movements of mobile grades of staff between establishments. No one, however, has yet been asked to transfer from Eaglescliffe in the context of the proposal referred to by my predecessor on 10th and 18th May 1972 regarding the possible move of computer facilities and part of the inventory management element. Nor is there any intention to make such requests in the immediate future.—[Vol. 836, c.328; Vol. 837, c.150–1.]
