Proceeding contribution from Lord Beith (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 March 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on HMRC (Office Closures).

HMRC (Office Closures)

Does my hon. Friend not agree that in such a situation, which is comparable to ours in Alnwick in Northumberland, where the work will be relocated to a business park more than 30 miles away, the Government ought to have a programme of decentralising other work, because they are pulling the heart out of many small towns—the main source of office employment? As Governments have sometimes done in the past, the Government could have a programme to take work from central locations into small towns.
