§ Mr. Ron Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Defence what is his estimate of the number of redundancies likely in his Department in Carlisle and Cumbria, respectively, as a result of the implementation of the Government's policy to reduce the number of civil servants.
§ Mr. HayhoeI regret that it is not yet possible to provide a reliable estimate of reductions of MOD civilian staff in particular areas, nor to forecast whether redundancies there will be necessary.
