Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour). It was answered on Monday, 4 June 2007.


Office for National Statistics: Relocation

Question
My Lords, is it not true that civil servants always oppose dispersal policy as a matter of course and that they are invariably wrong?
Answer

My Lords, there is certainly a general recognition in the country of the wisdom of seeking to spread jobs and economic prosperity more widely than the overheated south-east, but the moment the Government come along with a strategy for relocating jobs within their own service, there are many critics to be found.
