Information about offices and posts uispersed to Scotland in the period May 1963 to 30th September 1969 and for each year subsequent to 30th September 1969 is below. The figures do not include new organisations established in Scotland under Government location policies or announced plans for further dispersal. No central record of Government work which may have been transferred into Scotland, other than by dispersal from London, is maintained.
