HC Deb 10 January 1996 vol 269 c244W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to close the Marine Safety Agency office in Leith. [8230]

Mr. Norris

I have asked the chief executive of the Marine Safety Agency to write to the hon. Member.

Letter from R.M. Bradley to Mr. Graham Allen, dated 10 January 1996: I am responding to your question to the Secretary of State for Transport asking what plans the Marine Safety Agency (MSA) has to close its Leith office. The proposal to close the MSA office in Leith has been reconsidered and I am pleased to inform you that it will now remain open and operational for the foreseeable future. The size and locations of all of the MSA's offices are, of course, regularly reviewed to ensure that resources are suitably deployed to deal with prevailing workloads.
