HC Deb 09 December 1965 vol 722 c164W
53. Mr. Onslow

asked the Minister of Technology what was the number of staff in the Department under his control on 15th October, 1965; and what increase or decrease he anticipates in the period up to 15th October, 1966.

Mr. Cousins

Figures are not readily available in respect of 15th October, 1965, but on 1st October the number was 5,380, including 1,183 industrial staff. The estimated numbers to be employed in 1966–67 will appear in Civil Estimates to be presented to the House in due course.
