§ 38. Mr. Blenkinsopasked the Minister of National Insurance how many of the staff reductions which have occurred since October, 1951, or which have been agreed to at Longbenton, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, can be accounted for by casual vacancies in posts which it is not intended to fill.
§ Mr. PeakeThe whole of the reduction is being achieved by not replacing staff wastage. There will, of course, have to be some re-arrangement of staff as between posts which are to be abolished and those which are to be retained.
