§ Mr. Tebbitasked the Secretary of State for Defence (1) when he expects to identify individually the civilian staff employed by his Department who are to be made redundant;
(2) how many civil servants will be made redundant as a result of his defence cuts.
§ Mr. William RodgersThe reductions envisaged of 30,000 directly employed civilians will take place over a period and about half will fall amongst locally entered civilians abroad. It is too early to give any precise figures, but some redundancies will occur amongst civilians employed in the United Kingdom, although these will be kept to a minimum.
