§ 97. Sir W. Darlingasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why the staff of the Carlisle and District State Management District increased from 1,051 in 1951–52 to 1,062 in 1952–53 despite the fact that the purchase of stores and supplies for trading were expected to fall from £1,093,440 to £996,350.
§ Sir D. Maxwell FyfeThe increase of 11 in the estimate of staff for the Carlisle District is due to changes in conditions of service of industrial staff. The estimates for the purchase of stores and supplies for trading are not strictly comparable, because that for 1951–52 included a sum—none of which was spent—for the new towns, whereas that for 1952–53 relates to the Carlisle District alone.
