HC Deb 10 December 1953 vol 521 c278W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the Minister of Agriculture the reason for the 50 to 60 per cent. increase in the number of clerical, typing, etc., staff employed by the Agricultural Land Commission.

Sir T. Dugdale

The increase in clerical and typing staff from nine to 14 was necessary to deal with work arising from increases in the area of land managed by the Commission, and of the rental value, of 77 per cent. and 121 per cent. respectively.
