§ Mr. Wyn Robertsasked the Secretary of State for Wales how many additional staff have been taken on by local authorities in Wales since 1st March 1974; and at what cost.
§ Mr. John MorrisThe information is not available in the form requested. I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave him on 26th November 1975[Vol. 901, c. 222]—which gave the best estimate possible of the increase in full-time and part-time local government employees in Wales since reorganisation. It is not possible to estimate the associated cost of the increased staff.
