HC Deb 05 December 1949 vol 470 c1509
15. Mr. Marples

asked the Minister of Works what reduction in staff he has made consequent upon the discontinuation of the Ministry of Works Site Assistance Scheme; and what is the estimated annual saving of salaries.

Mr. Key

The savings in staff are estimated at 43, and in annual salaries at £23,000.

Mr. Marples

Does that represent the total number employed on this scheme?

Mr. Key

It represents the total number, but the reorganisation is not yet complete. There may be others to follow.
