HC Deb 15 July 1936 vol 314 c2046
62. Mr. M. BEAUMONT

asked the Minister of Transport what was the number of officials employed by the roads department of the Ministry of Transport for the year 1928–29, and what is the present number; and what was the cost of the staff of that department for 1928–29 and for the year ended 31st March, 1936?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

As legislation between the two dates mentioned has necessitated many changes in organisation, it is difficult to furnish comparable figures, but I will send my hon. Friend a tabular statement giving him detailed information.
