HC Deb 07 July 1976 vol 914 cc607-8W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make a statement on proposed cuts in staff in the Bathgate office of his Department.

Mr. Deakins

No. Reductions in staff proposed for the Bathgate office arise solely from the normal annual review of local office staffing needs to meet forecast work loads.
