HC Deb 12 November 1974 vol 881 c113W
Mr. McCusker

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many secretarial and administrative staff were employed by the county education committees in Northern Ireland prior to reorganisation; and how many are now employed by the various area education boards.

Mr. Concannon

Prior to reorganisation there were 740 such staff. There are now 900 employed by the five area education and library boards. A number of the administrative duties now performed by the boards, e.g., finance and establishment, were formerly undertaken by staff not employed exclusively on educational matters.
