§ Mr. Corbettasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether any decision has yet been taken on the possible transfer of Department of the Environment divisions from Hemel Hempstead to Bristol; whether he will publish that decision; and if it has not yet been taken, when a decision is expected to be made.
§ Mr. ShoreNo decision has yet been taken about the Hemel Hempstead staff, but I hope that it will not be long delayed. An announcement will be made to the staff as early as possible, and in view of my hon. Friend's interest I shall arrange for him to be kept informed.
