HC Deb 05 December 1977 vol 940 c497W
Mr. Ian Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what savings are expected to be achieved by running down the Archaeological Division of the Ordnance Survey.

Mr. Guy Barnett

In addition to its main objective, which is more efficient management and better use of resources, the reorganisation of the Archaeological Division will result in gradual savings on salaries, travel and subsistence and associated expenditure, amounting eventually to between £100,000 and £200,000 per annum, depending on the organisation ultimately settled.
