HC Deb 11 November 1976 vol 919 c249W
54. Sir John Hall

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what reduction in saving it is estimated will follow the decision to withdraw staff support from the voluntary National Savings movement by 5th April 1978.

Mr. Joel Barnett

We believe that the reduction in national savings arising from the withdrawal in the official staff support to the voluntary national savings movement by April 1978 is unlikely to be significant.

57. Mr. Wall

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what savings would be effected by the proposed withdraw] of permanent full-time staff in the National Savings movement.

Mr. Joel Barnett

The estimated savings in salaries and allied costs resulting from the withdrawal of the Civil Service support staff to the national savings movement will amount to around £2.7 million in a full financial year.
