HC Deb 07 July 1983 vol 45 c162W
Mr. Kaufman

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many posts have been saved in his Department as a result of the change in the system of controlling local authority capital expenditure brought about by the Local Government, Planning and Land Act 1980.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

No specific staff savings can be identified, because of other changes in work loads taking place at the same time.
