HC Deb 22 January 1968 vol 757 cc57-8W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Minister of Transport what estimate she has formed of the additional number of nonindustrial civil servants required to administer the provisions of the Transport Bill.

Mr. Swingler

Some provisions of the Transport Bill will save staff, others will need more. Over the range of the whole Bill, a small net increase of staff, will be needed to administer its provisions; but under the terms of the Prime Minister's statement of 16th January on Civil Service manpower, this need will be met without any increase in the total size of the Civil Service.
