HC Deb 27 February 1973 vol 851 c314W
41. Mr. Tom King

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many people in his Department are engaged in research into longer-term employment prospects in the United Kingdom; and whether he has proposals for increasing this number.

Mr. Dudley Smith

There are 15 staff in the unit for manpower studies, but many other staff of my Department, notably in the research and planning and statistics divisions, are directly or indirectly concerned with studies of this kind, though not necessarily on a full-time basis.
