HC Deb 01 December 1980 vol 995 c25W
Mr. Molyneaux

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many persons now in the Civil Service in Northern Ireland became civil servants as a result al the reorganisation of local government.

Mr. Rossi

In the Northern Ireland Civil Service there are approximately 1,800 non-industrial staff who were absorbed as a result of the reorganisation of local government. Comparable figures for industrial civil servants are not available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
