HC Deb 22 October 1969 vol 788 c278W
52. Mr. J. H. Osborn

asked the Minister of Technology what estimate has been made of the increase in the cost of implementing the reorganisation of his Department.

Mr. Carmichael

The integration of the Ministry of Power and elements of the Board of Trade and the Department of Economic Affairs in the Ministry of Technology will be carried out with the minimum interruption of day-to-day work. No estimate has been made of the marginal cost of implementing this re-organisation.
