Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, if he will make a statement on the dispersal of Government jobs to Scotland. (Failed OPQ)
Answer

Tony Worthington: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on the dispersal of Government jobs to Scotland. [187636] Mr. Darling: Decisions about the relocation of jobs within Government Departments have yet to be made but will be based on Departments' operational needs and individual business cases rather than the particular needs of specific areas or geographies. However, I have made quite clear to other Government Departments the advantages Scotland offers as a location.
