HC Deb 08 March 1989 vol 148 c579W
Mr. Brandon-Bravo

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will meet executives of Nottingham development enterprise to discuss the relocation of parts of his Department to Nottingham as part of the policy on the relocation of such posts away from the south-east.

Mr. Sainsbury

Under the policy that my right hon. Friend the Paymaster General, announced on 31 March 1988, my Department is now reviewing the location of its work with a view to finding sites offering easier labour markets, value for money and increased operational efficiency. Where appropriate, areas that are the focus of the Government's regional and urban policies, such as Nottingham, will be considered. My officials will be consulting local representatives in relevant sites as appropriate.
