HC Deb 28 June 1966 vol 730 c212W
Mr. Temple

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what proportion of Government offices in central London are cleaned by outside cleaners under contract; and what saving of public money it is estimated results from the use of contract cleaners instead of Government employees.

Mr. MacDermot

Approximately two-thirds. The saving, using actual average costs as at October 1965 and assuming no change in performance, is estimated to be about £430,000 a year.
