HC Deb 09 December 1965 vol 722 c157W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Minister of Aviation what increase or decrease there was in the staff of the Department under his control in the period 16th October 1964 to 15th October 1965; and what increase or decrease he anticipates in the period up to 15th October 1966.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

The staff of the Department decreased by 234 between 1st October, 1964 and 1st October, 1965; exact figures for the dates mentioned by the hon. Member are not available. I do not expect any considerable change in numbers during the next 12 months.
