§ Mr. John MorrisThe increase is mainly accounted for by the transfer of staff from the Welsh Hospital Board and some other appointments following the reorganisation of the NHS in Wales, and by transfers from the Department of Industry this year following the assumption by the Welsh Office of responsibilities for industry in Wales formerly carried by that Department.
