HC Deb 18 May 1992 vol 208 cc64-5W
42. Mr. David Evans

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many civil servants now work in "next steps" executive agencies.

Mr. Robert Jackson

There are now more than 290,000 civil servants working in "next steps" agencies and other organisations operating on "next steps" lines. This means that about half the civil service is covered by "next steps". Improved results to the taxpayer and consumer are being delivered.
