§ Mr. Wrigglesworthasked the Secretary of State for Transport 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. William RodgersThe operation of cash limits has affected neither the number nor the location of staff in the Department of Transport, nor is any such effect forecast for the remainder of the current financial year. In general, however, the effect of cash limits had been to add impetus to the drive for economy and increased efficiency in the administration of the Department's services.
