HC Deb 10 November 1982 vol 31 cc195-6W
59. Mr. Murphy

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects the new town offices of the Commission for the New Towns to be closed; and if he will make a statement.

Sir George Young

I understand that the commission have decided to close nearly all its local offices for business by the end of this month and to vacate them by the end of December, concentrating in London the remaining work for the towns concerned. The sole exception is the local office at Corby which will be unaffected by these changes.
