HC Deb 24 November 1958 vol 596 cc8-9W
67. Mr. Wiley

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what action he has taken pursuant to the recommendations of the Arton Wilson Committee; and what changes and economies they have effected.

Mr. Godber

The decisions announced in the reply given to the hon. Member on 2nd August, 1956, have been implemented. The whole of the Ministry's regional organisation has been overhauled. As a result there has been a net saving of about 500 staff and £250,000 a year in salaries and overheads despite the addition of new work since that time.
