HC Deb 31 January 1973 vol 849 c399W
Sir G. Nabarro

asked the Minister for the Civil Service whether he will state, at 31st December 1972, the revised allocation of British civil servants to the EEC, calculated at mid-1973, including all offices and Brussels.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

I estimate that during 1973 between 600 and 700 British nationals may be recruited by the European Commission. Since most are being recruited by open competition it is not possible to say now how many of these will be found within the Civil Service.
