HC Deb 28 July 1975 vol 896 c339W
Mr. George Rodgers

asked the Minister for the Civil Service what progress has been made to date in enacting the policy of the dispersal of civil servants.

Mr. Charles R. Morris

Good progress is being made. Between May 1963 and 1st April 1975 more than 26,000 Civil Service posts were dispersed from London. Plans announced by the Government provide for the dispersal of additional posts well in excess of 31,000 by 1984. These figures do not include posts arising from the setting up of new work away from London.
