HC Deb 16 March 1970 vol 798 c42W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many persons are employed full-time and part-time, respectively, by the Government in connection with the Government's Social Survey; and in what counties of the United Kingdom are these persons employed.

Mr. William Rodgers

The Government Social Survey works as a single unit for Great Britain and employs 220 full-time civil servants centred on a headquarters office in London. Field work is done by a mobile force of fee-paid interviewers, at present numbering 364, who use their homes as base, as do a few full-time supervisory officers, and are not limited in their employment to the counties in which they reside.
