HC Deb 10 July 1985 vol 82 c440W
Mrs. Rumbold

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what manpower reductions his Department has achieved in 1984–85.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

The permanent staff in post in my Department numbered 2,185 full-time equivalents on 1 April 1984 and 2,278½ on 1 April 1985. This increase arose because of transfers of functions and staff from other Government departments, mainly the Department of Trade and Industry.
