§ 10. Mr. FearnTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is his estimate of the maximum savings which would arise from moving certain of his Department's establishments away from the south-east.
§ Mr. SainsburyIt is not possible to provide any meaningful estimate since much would depend on such basic factors as the choice of provincial location and whether expensive specialist facilities needed to be reprovided at the new site. The Department is, however, conducting the review announced by my right hon. Friend the Paymaster General on 31 March 1988 at column610–11.
