HC Deb 28 April 1969 vol 782 cc149-50W
16. Mr. E. Rowlands

asked the Minister for the Civil Service whether he is aware that the pamphlet entitled The Administrative Class—the Home Civil Service, published in conjunction with the Central Office of Information in 1967 omits the fact that responsibility for housing and town and country planning was transferred to the Welsh Office in October 1964; and whether he will now withdraw and revise the pamphlet to include references to a career in the administrative class in the Welsh Office.

Mrs. Hart

The passage in this pamphlet referring to the Ministry of Housing and Local Government does indicate that the Minister's responsibilities do not extend to Wales, save in respect of major regulations and other instruments affecting England and Wales as a whole, which are very few.

This pamphlet was last revised in 1966. It is to be revised again this year and will include a reference to the Welsh Office.
