§ 22. Mr. HoltTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether it remains his policy to relocate Ministry of Defence staff to Cleveland; what representations he has received from the unions with regard to the move; and what consideration he gave to the adequacy of road transport links with Cleveland when deciding his policy.
