HC Deb 15 December 1975 vol 902 cc479-80W
Mr. Michael Latham

asked the Secretary of State for Industry to what legislative or policy factors he attributes the increase in non-industrial staff from 9,392 on 1st July 1975 to 9,424 on 1st October.

Mr. Kaufman

The net increase of 32 is mainly attributable to improved recruitment, following the end of the school year, to fill vacancies in typing grades.

Mr. Michael Latham

asked the Secretary of State for Industry how many staff were transferred from his Department to the Welsh Office in 1975, following the transfer of responsibility for industry in Wales; and whether the authorised establishment of his Department has been reduced by the same amount.

Mr. Kaufman

118 staff were transferred to the Welsh Office on 1st July 1975 and the authorised establishment of my Department was reduced by that amount.
