HC Deb 27 October 1983 vol 47 cc187-8W
Mr. Canavan

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many cleaners' jobs have been lost in the Civil Service since 1 January 1980 as a result of contracting out cleaning services from directly employed cleaners to private contract cleaners.

Mr. Hayhoe

Between 1 January 1980 and 1 July 1983 the number of non-industrial cleaners fell by 1,241, from 3,425 to 2,184. Information is not held centrally on the number of industrial cleaners, or on the number of Civil Service posts, saved as a result of contracting out cleaning.
