HC Deb 01 December 1987 vol 123 c490W
Mr. Blunkett

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what representations he has received from Sheffield city council regarding the decision by Unilever to relocate Batchelor plc headquarters from Sheffield to Croydon; what response he has made; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Atkins

[holding answer 30 November 1987]: I have received no representations from Sheffield city council about the decision by Unilever to relocate the Batchelors Food headquarters from Sheffield. This is in any case a matter for the company's own commercial judgment.
