HC Deb 18 April 1967 vol 745 cc74-5W
Mr. Channon

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works how many civil servants of the administrative class were engaged in each of the three works departments of the armed services prior to the amalgamation under his department, showing in each case their grades; and how many are currently engaged in the Directorate General of Works in his Department.

Mr. Prentice

Before the merger, the Service Departments had 3 under-secretaries, 5 assistant secretaries, 6 principals and 1 assistant principal wholly or substantially employed on the administration of works service.

At this level, my Department currently employs on comparable work 1 undersecretary, 4 assistant secretaries, 2 principals and 1 assistant principal.
