Mr. William Hamilton
asked the Minister for the Civil Service if he will make a further statement on the transfer to Scotland of Civil Service jobs in the next three years.
Mr. Charles R. Morris
Within the next three years 108 posts are due to be transferred to Scotland. The transfer of some 7,000 posts in the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Overseas Development is due in the 1980s. These figures do not include posts to be established in Scotland as a result of the policy of locating new offices away from London wherever possible.
