HC Deb 21 January 1975 vol 884 c290W
Mr. John Stradling Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Industry whether, in view of the Government's decision to relocate the laboratory of the Government Chemist in Cumbria, it will be necessary to construct new laboratories or other facilities.

Mr. Meacher

The problems involved in moving the laboratory of the Government Chemist to West Cumbria are still being examined. It is too early to say what facilities will be required, but new construction may well be necessary.
