70Wthe preceding nine years for England and Wales, together with the numbers of staff employed in June of each year, are shown in the table below.
comparable figures for October, 1964, and August, 1965.
§ Mr. CrossmanOn 1st July, 1966, 3,800 full time and 84 part time, making 454 more full time and 15 more part time than in August, 1965, and 640 more full time and 21 more part time than in October, 1964. Of the additions made since October, 1964, 114 full time and 14 part time are attributable to a transfer of staff, with their responsibilities, to my Ministry. A further 370 full time and 3 part time were needed to staff the new regional offices of the Ministry and to serve the Rent Assessment Panels set up under the 1965 Act. This leaves a balance of 156 full time and 4 part time added to the Headquarters of my Ministry and to the audit service.
