Mr. Jeffrey Archer

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many of the individuals employed at Kew Gardens are there solely for the purpose of collecting admission charges; and what was the cost of their employment in 1970.

No individual is employed at Kew Gardens solely to collect admission charges. Twelve constables who man the gates are involved in the collection of the charges at a cost of approximately £30,000 a year.
