HC Deb 28 March 1973 vol 853 c311W
35. Mr. James Lamond

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what action is taken by his Department to encourage the location of office buildings in the development areas when an application is received for an office development permit.

Mr. Graham Page

Movement of office jobs to the assisted areas is encouraged whenever possible, for example, by discussing with applicants for office development permits, where appropriate, the possibility of locating some or all of their offices outside London and the South East.
