HL Deb 23 October 1973 vol 345 c618WA
LORD GARDINER

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What steps they have taken to obtain a sufficient number of Parliamentary draftsmen.

LORD WINDLESHAM

The recruitment of Parliamentary draftsmen has for a number of years constituted a problem for successive Governments. At present there are sufficient to deal with the Government's current programme of legislation. As to the future, all available sources of potential recruitment are kept constantly under review.
