§ Mr. Onslowasked the Minister of Public Building and Works what has been the effect, in numbers of personnel employed, of the transfer of the responsibilities of the Services Works Department in the British Army of the Rhine to his Department.
§ Mr. BoydenIn 1963, the Ministry took over from the Army Works Organisation 142 non-industrial U.K.-based civilians serving in Germany, together with 840 non-industrial and 4,121 industrial locally-entered staff. As a result of integration, the number of staff now engaged on works services for the Army cannot be separately identified; but since April, 1963, the load of work in Germany for the Services as a whole has more than doubled and there has been a net fall in staff of nearly 200.
