HC Deb 27 July 1976 vol 916 c153W
Mrs. Wise

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much he estimates will be added to the labour costs of the prison service by the increase in the employer's share of the national insurance contribution; and where the money will be found.

Mr. John

Approximately £2 million in England and Wales on present staffing assumptions. Allowance will be made for the extra contribution in Supply Estimates and cash limits at whatever staffing levels are finally agreed for the year.
