HC Deb 27 February 1973 vol 851 c308W
23. Mr. Duffy

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what steps he has taken to relocate the headquarters work of his Departments in Yorkshire and Humberside.

Mr. Chichester-Clark

None. The Government will be considering whether more of the Department's work can be located away from London, as part of the current review of the location of Civil Service headquarters work in London. In deciding locations for dispersal, we shall take into account factors such as communications with and distance from London and the location of other bodies which have close links with the dispersed units.
