HC Deb 31 October 1989 vol 159 c173W
80. Mr. Hague

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what progress his Department has made in relocating its staff from London to the regions.

Mr. Eggar

On 3 August 1989 I announced that 1,100 jobs from my Department's headquarters in London and Watford would be moved to Runcorn and Sheffield over the next two to three years. I can report to this House that good progress is being made and the first phase of the move will begin, on schedule, in spring 1990.
