§ Mr. Robert BanksTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what organisations and sections within his Department presently being housed in London are being considered for dispersal to provincial areas.
§ Mr. Kenneth CarlisleWe are currently examining a number of relocation possibilities, including the transfer of further work from London to Harrogate. Details of which organisations and sections of the Department are involved will be announced once final decisions have been taken. Of course, all proposals must be justified on both economic and operational grounds.
