§ Mr. Keith HillTo ask the Lord President of the Council how many people are employed by his Department to provide advice on the application of equal opportunities; and at what cost in the last year for which figures are available. [14475]
§ Mr. NewtonThe Privy Council Office has a staff of fewer than 40. None is exclusively devoted to personnel management duties, and no meaningful cost figure can be calculated for staff effort devoted to equal opportunities issues.
