HC Deb 20 February 1976 vol 905 cc848-9W
Mr. Tebbit

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will list the reductions of staff, including details of grades, he anticipates within his Department in view of the reduction in the tests of monitoring the performance of the aerospace and shipbuilding industries after the vesting days for those industries.

Mr. Kaufman

Compared with the 100 staff at present in the two Sponsoring Divisions of my Department I expect a progressive reduction amounting to some 20 per cent. by the time the negotiation of compensation to the nationalised companies has been completed. I am not able at this stage to specify the grades concerned.
