§ Mr. William Hamiltonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many civil servants were employed at St. Andrew's House on 1st June, 1970; and what reduction there has been since then.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellThe number of non-industrial staff in my Departments on 1st June, 1970 was 8,187, which included 1,224 at St. Andrew's House. There was an increase of 78, including 22 at St. Andrew's House, at 1st October, the latest date for which figures are readily available. Most of the increase is accounted for by the recruitment of school-leavers to fill vacancies in junior grades.
