HC Deb 29 November 1973 vol 865 c210W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Minister for the Civil Service why his Department needs 18 information officers.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

The 18 information officers employed by the Civil Service Department include the four staff in the information grades employed in the Prime Minister's Office. Six are employed in the CSD headquarters in Whitehall and eight in the Civil Service Commission Careers Information Division at Basingstoke. The number of information officers employed is that required to undertake the very wide range of duties involved.
