HC Deb 20 March 1980 vol 981 c278W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many social workers have been dismissed as part of the cuts in public expenditure in each county of England for each month since May 1979 up to the most recent month for which figures are available.

Sir George Young

It is for each local authority to determine its own staffing requirements and the information requested is not held centrally.
