HC Deb 27 June 1975 vol 894 cc250-1W
Mr. Dan Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services in view of the fact that the Fylde Housing Committee has taken a decision not to allocate council houses to civil servants proposed to be dispersed to that area from London, if she will consider reallocating these Civil Service posts for dispersal to Burnley and north-east Lancashire where housing facilities are available.

Mr. Meacher

No. My officials are corresponding with the three borough councils in the area, namely, Wyre, in which the offices for the dispersed staff are located, Blackpool and Fylde, and as a result I hope sufficient help with housing will be forthcoming to meet the needs of staff dispersed from London.
