HC Deb 23 July 2004 vol 424 c775W
John McDonnell

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much money his Department expects to save as a result of the job cuts in his Department announced in the 2004 spending review. [184740]

Mr. Stephen Twigg

[holding answer 21 July 2004]: The spending review announcement included a reduction of 1,460 posts in DfES. These will be achieved by April 2008 and equate to a steady state paybill reduction for the Department of £38 million at today's prices.
