HC Deb 01 April 1977 vol 929 cc275-6W
Mr. Wiggin

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many local authority employees are involved with administering county council small-holdings; and what is the cost of such administration.

Mr. Guy Barnett

Information is not available to the Department about the number of local government employees engaged on the administration of small-holdings. Table 6 of the twenty-sixth Annual Report to Parliament on Smallholdings in England and Wales, a copy of which is available in the Library, contains information about the central and direct administration expenses of small-holding authorities in the year ending 31st March 1976.
