HC Deb 17 June 1959 vol 607 c39W
46. Lieut.-Commander Maydon

asked the Minister of Labour what are the reasons for the increase in staff of his Department by 2,034 between 1st April, 1958, and 1st April, 1959.

Mr. Wood

About 1,500 of the increase was to deal with extra work arising from increased unemployment, and about 500 to make good under-staffing at 1st April, 1958.
