HC Deb 24 October 1966 vol 734 c111W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what increase or decrease there has been in the staff of the Department under his control since 16th October 1964; and what increase or decrease he anticipates in the period up to 15th October 1967.

Mr. Ross

There was an increase of 883 between October 1964 and October 1966. The review of staff needs in the financial year 1967–68 has just begun and it is too early to assess what changes are likely in the period to October 1967.
