HC Deb 25 January 1988 vol 126 c78W
70. Mr. McLeish

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what representations he has received about Her Majesty's Government's policy of dispersal of the Civil Service to the regions; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Brooke

Two letters from hon. Members on the subject of Civil Service dispersal have recently been referred to me and are currently being dealt with. With regard to a statement, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer I provided to the hon. Member for East Kilbride (Mr. Ingram) on 18 January 1988, at columns475–76.
