HC Deb 15 November 1976 vol 919 cc322-3W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Minister for the Civil Service if he will make a statement on the progress which has been made in transferring Ministry of Defence and Foreign Office Civil Service jobs to Glasgow under the dispersal plans.

Mr. Charles R. Morris

As I told the hon. Member on 26th July, the Departments concerned are continuing to make good progress with detailed planning for the moves for which dates have already been announced, and are due to take place for the Ministry of Overseas Development in 1980 and for the Ministry of Defence in 1982 to 1984. It is expected that construction at East Kilbride will begin by the end of 1977 and at the St. Enoch site by the end of 1979.
