HC Deb 13 January 1977 vol 923 c577W
Mr. Wrigglesworth

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what effect the operation of cash limits: (a) has had in the current year and (b) will have had to the end of the current financial year upon the number and location of staff in his Department.

Mr. Clinton Davis

The operation of cash limits is but one of several factors affecting the control of the number and location of staff in my Department. The number of staff is at present, and by the end of the current financial year is expected to remain, within the provision made in the relevant cash block. Cash limits have had no effect on their location.
