HC Deb 21 December 1989 vol 164 cc369-70W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps he is taking to ensure the successful relocation of the Inland Revenue in Nottingham.

Mr. Lilley

The Inland Revenue remains committed to its plans to relocate some 2,000 headquarters posts to Nottingham. However, it has always made it clear that its decision is conditional on obtaining a suitable site reasonably quickly on satisactory terms. I very much hope that, with the continuing support of the city and county councils, the department will be able to obtain a site in the near future.

Mr. Allen

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he last discussed the relocation of the Inland Revenue.

Mr. Lilley

I keep fully up to date with developments, on the Inland Revenue's proposals to relocate some 2,000 headquarters posts to Nottingham.
