HC Deb 07 April 1977 vol 929 cc660-1W
Mr. Sproat

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will give his estimate of the percentage of persons employed in his Department who left the Department in 1976 for reasons other than having reached retirement age.

Mr. Deakins

It is estimated that 8 per cent. of the staff in my Department left the Department in 1976 for reasons other than having reached retirement age. This figure excludes deaths and transfers to other Departments.
